The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank

Plot

Collects The Punisher (2000 5th Series) #1-12. Cover by Tim Bradstreet. Introduction by Garth Ennis.

Iconic Punisher creative team Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's definitive Punisher collaboration, that revitalized the character for the turn of the millenium! The Punisher is set to return to the small screen in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, with actor Jon Bernthal reprising his role in the upcoming Disney + series! Frank Castle - the Punisher - is a one-man army locked, loaded and ready to take down anyone in his way, meting out the ultimate punishment to criminals: death. The Punisher makes his return by eliminating the ruthless Ma Gnucci's crime family - pursued by the NYPD's two-detective Punisher Task Force, crazed contract killer the Russian and super hero Daredevil...and emulated by three copycat killers who want to join forces with him. The over-the-top action builds toward a showdown in the apartment building Frank shares with his colorful fellow residents. Castle must survive to finish his vendetta, making sure his neighbors aren't caught in the crossfire while evil is punished. With this series, writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon (together with inker Jimmy Palmiotti and iconic cover artist Tim Bradstreet) gave the Punisher a redefining fresh start that once more made him a force to be reckoned with!
