Description

For the final cover, the background art you see (breaking through a door) was covered up by light rays in post production). The scene makes a lot more sense in its original form, but you can't deny the tussle is exciting any way you look at it.

I'm just amazed as to how much better the original cover looks than the published cover, and that's a standout comic on the spinner rack!

Impressive early work by Lee! You easily understand why, a few months later, they gave him their best title... And the rest is history :)

Also, you need to move the logo up and have it line up with the background! Keep moving it around until it lines up.  :)

How am I only seeing this in your collection now?! What a cover! His X-Men work is fantastic, however his Punider covers (to me) are some of his greatest examples

Awesome cover! One of those pieces where the art looks so much better in original B&W than coloured.
