In "Dead Man Walking," the Punisher’s apparent death in Oklahoma sparks a nationwide hunt for the truth, as agencies from the U.S. Marshals to SHIELD scramble to verify the rumors—only to find he’s very much alive. Written by John Ostrander and brought to life by Tom Lyle’s gritty art, this 1997 issue delivers a tense, grounded mystery where every lead leads deeper into the shadows. The cover by Tom Lyle and Robert Jones captures the grim intensity of a legend still very much in the fight.
