The Punisher: Die Hard in the Big Easy

In this 1992 Marvel one-shot, writer John Wagner and artist Phil Gascoine send the Punisher to New Orleans for a standalone, hard-boiled crime story. The issue drops Frank Castle into the Big Easy's seedy underbelly, delivering a tight, action-packed thriller that captures the character's signature brand of vigilante justice. Though brief, it stands as a notable, gritty chapter in the Punisher's publishing history.
