About this Collection

This 1988 Marvel collection brings together the five-issue miniseries that redefined the Punisher for a new era. Written by Steven Grant with art by Mike Zeck, the story follows Frank Castle as he escapes from prison and embarks on a brutal campaign of vengeance against the crime boss who framed him, setting the tone for the character's darker, more violent solo adventures.

In The Punisher: Circle of Blood #1 (1988), the Punisher finds himself behind bars, facing off against the enigmatic Jigsaw in a brutal prison showdown. When a riot erupts and inmates attempt a mass breakout, the Punisher stops them—only to be offered freedom by a corrupt warden tied to the shadowy Trust, who wants him to fight their battles. Written by Steven Grant and brought to life with gritty intensity by Mike Zeck (pencils and inks) and John Beatty (inks), this issue sets a dark, high-stakes tone with Zeck’s cover capturing the tension in stark, powerful detail.
