About the series
Across seven annuals published by Marvel between 1988 and 1994, The Punisher Annual delivered oversized, standalone stories that expanded Frank Castle's grim world. Writers Roger Salick, Andy Lanning, and Dan Abnett, alongside artists John Hebert, Mike Vosburg, and Neil Hansen, frequently pitted the Punisher against Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, while exploring the vigilante's uneasy partnership with his tech-support ally, David "Microchip" Lieberman. These issues matter for giving fans of the era extra doses of brutal, street-level action that deepened the supporting cast and the Punisher's relentless war on crime.
