Punisher Epic Collection #5
In "No Escape," the Punisher crosses paths with a defiant young performance artist in a stifling Iowa town, stepping in when local enforcers target the artist for burning Old Glory—a provocative act that ignites tension in a community already teetering on the edge. Writer Mike Baron and artist Neil Hansen deliver a gritty, character-driven story as the Punisher dismantles the dangerous meth-amphetamine operation run by corrupt town figure Harold Meecham, all while navigating the volatile clash between art, rebellion, and small-town power. The cover by Joe Jusko captures the story’s raw intensity with striking, no-holds-barred detail.
