Manzo

Stepping out of the gritty late-'80s Marvel universe, Manzo made their debut in The Punisher War Journal #8 in 1989 — a title that was helping define the darker, harder-edged Copper Age alongside Jim Lee's electric early artwork and Carl Potts' sharp storytelling. Manzo's world is one of street-level Marvel danger, sharing pages with Frank Castle himself and a cast of characters that populate the unforgiving corners of the Punisher's universe. With appearances spread across The Punisher and The Punisher War Journal touching nearly three decades, this is a figure woven into one of Marvel's most enduring vigilante sagas — a small but genuine thread in the brutal tapestry that makes Punisher comics so compelling to collect.
