Marvel Knights: Punisher

Marvel Knights: Punisher, published by Planeta DeAgostini from 2002 to 2004, redefined Frank Castle as a grim, relentless force of nature in a 32-issue run that stripped the character to his brutal core. This series is most associated with writer Garth Ennis, whose hard-boiled, darkly humorous scripts and unflinching violence turned the Punisher into a modern antihero icon. It matters for its uncompromising take on vigilante justice, influencing the character's direction for years to come.
