The Rev

Stepping out of the gritty Copper Age streets of Marvel's most uncompromising corner, The Rev made his debut in The Punisher #35 in 1990, brought to life by the creative team of Mike Baron and Bill Reinhold. This is a character forged in the brutal, morally complex world that Frank Castle and the scarred Jigsaw call home — not exactly a neighborhood for the faint of heart. With appearances catalogued across nearly two decades through 1990–2009, The Rev may be a rare presence on the page, but those six appearances place him squarely in some of Marvel's most hard-edged storytelling, the kind of issues collectors dig through longboxes to track down.
