The Punisher

In 2000, Panini Deutschland published a six-issue Punisher series that brought together the celebrated team of writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, fresh off their acclaimed work on Preacher. This compact run delivers a visceral, no-nonsense take on Frank Castle’s one-man war on crime, stripping the character down to his brutal, black-and-white morality. It matters as a sharp, standalone entry that captures the raw, darkly humorous tone Ennis and Dillon would later define for the character in longer runs.
