“Sacrifice Play”

In "Sacrifice Play," the Punisher regroups after his injuries, forming an uneasy alliance with a husband-and-wife team of prison guards as they attempt to stop a dangerous prison transport from being hijacked by the Samson Family and their unstable leader. With tension escalating during the chaotic rescue attempt, one guard faces an impossible choice—between a deadly gunman and the approaching police—leading to a desperate, defining moment. Written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Whilce Portacio, with inks by Scott Williams, colors by Mark Chiarello, and letters by Ken Bruzenak, this 1988 issue features a cover by Portacio and Williams.

The Punisher recovers from last issue's injuries and gains a husband and wife team (both prison guards) as allies in the process. The trio try to keep Lydia Spotto and the Samson Family members from rescuing their crazed cult leader during a prison transport. As the firefight winds down and the Punisher takes care of Charlie, Ortiz finds himself stuck between a gunman and approaching police and makes a suicide play.
