Punisher Max Special: Little Black Book

A one-shot from Marvel's MAX line, this 2008 special pairs writer Victor Gischler with artist Jefte Palo for a standalone Punisher story. It offers a tight, self-contained look at Frank Castle's brutal world, with Palo's gritty visuals capturing the unflinching tone of the imprint. While brief, it's a sharp entry for readers who want a quick dose of the MAX-era Punisher.
