The Amazing Spider-Man #129 is one of the single most important issues in Marvel's history, as it marked the very first appearance of the Punisher. And if there was ever a way to sell readers on this new character, it was this cover, in which we see the now-iconic anti-hero with a great action shot of Spider-Man in his crosshairs.
It's an image that creates a palpable sense of urgency and likely excited fans to learn just what this Punisher was all about.
