Punisher: Frank Castle Max - Welcome to the Bayou

In 2009, Marvel's MAX imprint sent Frank Castle to the Louisiana bayou for a single, self-contained issue by writer Victor Gischler and artist Jefte Palo. This hard-edged story pits the Punisher against a swamp-dwelling menace, leaning into the MAX line's signature grit and mature storytelling. It's a tight, atmospheric detour that showcases the character's versatility beyond urban warfare.
