Chester Scully

Stepping out of the gritty Copper Age streets of Marvel's 1989 Punisher run, Chester Scully was brought to life by writer Baron and artist Erik Larsen in one of the darker, more visceral corners of the Marvel Universe. His world is defined by the company he keeps — sharing pages with the Punisher himself, Frank Castle, and even the likes of Doctor Doom and Lucifer, which tells you something about the intense, high-stakes territory this character inhabits. With appearances catalogued across a surprisingly long stretch from 1989 to 2009, Scully proves more durable than his modest page count might suggest. A deep-cut find for the dedicated Punisher completist.
