Punisher Invades the 'Nam #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2018 one-shot from Marvel drops Frank Castle into the Vietnam War, reimagining the Punisher's origin as a direct result of his tour in the conflict. The story explores how his wartime experiences shaped his brutal vigilante code, blending the gritty war comic tradition with the Punisher's signature violence.
"The Long Sticks" offers a behind-the-scenes look at the origins of the Punisher's Vietnam War arcs in The 'Nam, tracing how stories from issues #52–53 and #67–69 came to be, and revealing the planned but never published follow-up arcs that were set to appear in issues #84–86 before the series was canceled. Written by Tim Tuohy and illustrated with gritty, evocative detail by Gary Kwapisz on the cover, this issue stands as a poignant testament to a story that never saw print.
In "Sweet Revenge," Ice and Micro infiltrate a Caribbean prison on the island of Puerto Dulce to free the Punisher, but their mission takes a dangerous turn when the escape leaves them stranded in a treacherous gator-infested swamp. With no way out and the jungle closing in, survival becomes the only goal.
In "The Swine," the Punisher and his team navigate the treacherous terrain of Puerto Dulce, following a mysterious pig through an alligator-infested swamp as they search for a way off the island before the revolution erupts. The story unfolds with tense, grounded pacing, blending survival instinct with the ever-present threat of violence.
