The Punisher #3
In "The Devil Came From Kansas!", the Punisher takes a rare break from his mission in Missouri—only to find himself drawn into a high-stakes chase after a bank robbery. The trail leads him across state lines to Kansas, where he uncovers a dangerous white supremacist group using crime to fuel their violent ideology. Written by Mike Baron and brought to life with stark, gritty art by Klaus Janson—whose distinctive pencils, inks, and colors define the issue’s tone—this story blends relentless momentum with a simmering sense of moral urgency. The cover, also by Janson, captures the tension with a striking, shadowed image of the Punisher in motion.
