The Punisher #2

Dec 1998 · Marvel · 2.99 USD; 4.20 CAD
“Purgatory Part 2: The Mark of Cain”

In "Purgatory Part 2: The Mark of Cain," the Punisher pushes deeper into a nightmarish realm where past sins manifest as living shadows, confronting the Stalkers—figures eerily tied to the lives he’s ended. With Hellstorm and the mysterious Gadriel, he battles Olivier’s demonic forces, unraveling a haunting truth about the very enemies he’s faced. Bernie Wrightson’s stark, haunting art brings the nightmare to life, while the story’s relentless tension builds on the weight of vengeance and consequence.
