Magnum #5/1993

In "Flaggsskjenderen," the Punisher interrupts a volatile clash in a small Iowa town, stepping in to protect a young performance artist whose act—burning the American flag—has drawn the wrath of local enforcers. Though he shares no sympathy for the artist’s message, the Punisher targets the town’s corrupt power structure, dismantling Harold Meecham’s methamphetamine operation with ruthless precision.
