About the Comic:
When Gotham becomes a war zone, two men stand in the fire… only one will walk away unchanged.

In Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire, Gotham is about to explode as Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher, enters town on a mission to eliminate Jigsaw — only to run headfirst into Batman, who has his own ideas about how justice is served. As The Joker fans the flames of chaos, these two icons of vengeance face off in a city that has no room for both of them.

Written by Alan Grant and featuring pencils by John Romita Jr., this issue is action-packed, philosophical, and full of sharp contrast between Marvel’s brutal realism and DC’s gothic legacy.

Condition Notes (VF/NM Estimate):

• Cover: Squarebound prestige format, glossy with minor edge wear

• Spine: Firm, light handling along edges, minimal roll

• Corners: Mostly sharp with light wear on bottom edge

• Interior Pages: White, crisp, no writing or stains

• Stored: Bagged and boarded in smoke-free, archival protection

Why This Crossover Matters:

• Batman vs. The Punisher, written by DC legend Alan Grant

• Art by John Romita Jr., one of Marvel’s most iconic stylists

• Prestige format – squarebound, high-quality print

• One of the few official DC/Marvel crossovers of the 1990s

• VF/NM = ideal for collectors of crossover, antihero, and one-shot events

Drawn from the Reaper’s crossover vault — because sometimes, justice needs a trench coat and a grappling hook.
