Marvel Knights Punisher by Garth Ennis: The Complete Collection #2

Frank Castle looms in silhouette against a striking typographic backdrop — words like "WAR," "VIGILANTE," "REVENGE," "PROTECT," and "ANTI-HERO" crowding the red-and-white design behind him, the Punisher skull emblem anchoring the whole striking image. This second complete collection gathers more of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's celebrated run, with inks by Jimmy Palmiotti, capturing the gritty, street-level tone that defined Marvel Knights' take on the character. Tim Bradstreet's cover art perfectly encapsulates the Punisher's world — a man defined as much by the ideas swirling around him as by the skull on his chest.
