A few of the best punches I have ever seen (some of them are sequential blows, but we ARE talking about comics!):

Superman vs Hulk (John Buscema)

Thing vs Hulk (John Buscema)

Thing vs Terrax (John Byrne)

Wolverine vs Vindicator (John Byrne)

Basically, the "Fun" from another thread in superhero comics has always

JB is a master of the punch, but that one is a real cheat.

Interesting what all these are actually depicting is the effect of the punch.
