“Ministry of Death”

In "Ministry of Death," Frank Castle ventures into the remote jungles of Guiana with Reverend Sammy Smith, a man whose faith masks a dangerous fanaticism. As the Punisher uncovers the chilling truth behind the reverend’s apocalyptic plans, he must confront not only the cult’s fanatic followers but also Smith’s enigmatic sister, whose powers hint at something far more sinister. With Klaus Janson handling every aspect of the interior art and cover, this 1988 issue delivers a stark, intense look at violence, belief, and the cost of justice.
