The Punisher Annual #4

In "Genesis of a Vigilante," the Punisher crosses paths with a rogue Hydra agent in a high-stakes mission to dismantle a ruthless operative expanding the organization’s drug trade under Strucker’s shadow. Written by Gregory Wright and Dan Chichester, with art by John Hebert and inks by Jimmy Palmiotti, Don Hudson, and Jim Reddington, this 1991 annual blends gritty action and moral complexity. The cover by Michael Golden and Klaus Janson captures the intensity of a vigilante’s war, rendered in bold, striking detail.
