Joy Adams

Stepping into the gritty world of Marvel's Copper Age, Joy Adams made her debut in The Punisher #37 in 1990, born from the creative partnership of Mike Baron and Mark Texeira during one of the most visceral runs in the series' history. Her story unfolds in the shadow of some of Marvel's most dangerous figures — Frank Castle himself, the scarred and scheming Jigsaw, and others who populate the Punisher's brutal corner of the Marvel universe. With appearances stretching across nearly two decades and a presence in the essential collections that define the Punisher's legacy, Joy Adams may be a rare find in the catalog, but that scarcity only makes her more compelling to the dedicated collector hunting every corner of this landmark series.
