From 2003 to 2004, Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson redefined the Punisher’s origin in this brutal, four-issue Marvel MAX series. Set during Frank Castle’s final tour in Vietnam, it strips away sentiment to reveal the moment a soldier became a one-man war on crime. Robertson’s gritty, unflinching art grounds Ennis’s visceral writing, making this a raw and essential chapter in the character’s mythology.
