Research notes and sources
The earlier subject field named only Osborn; Frank Castle is the foreground figure. Distinct window artwork warrants a separate variant record. Full-cover thumbnail carries barcode 00411 despite variant designation; artwork identity, not barcode alone, distinguishes the covers. The second McKone version retains Punisher on the fire escape while substituting Norman Osborn and an unnamed woman in the right-hand window. GCD explicitly identifies the homage target and credits McKone pencils/inks and Hollowell colors.
