“The Ghost of Wall Street”

In "The Ghost of Wall Street," Frank Castle tracks down a web of financial corruption tied to the Billionaire Boys Club, using former broker Quentin O'Toole as a reluctant informant. As he digs into Arnold Ansen’s schemes and a shadowy deal with the Japanese, the Punisher finds himself caught between a brutal gang and a killer hiding in plain sight—Roky, the real menace preying on the homeless. Written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Whilce Portacio with inks by Scott Williams, this 1988 issue delivers a gritty, tense thriller with a cover by Portacio and Williams that captures the story’s dark, urban edge.
