7 59606 08413 5 FRANK CASTLE was a decorated Marine, an upstanding citizen, and a family man. Then his family was taken from him when they were accidentally killed in a brutal Mob hit. From that day, he became a force of cold, calculated retribution and vigilantism. Frank Castle died with his family. Now, there is only…

A mission to take down a mercenary organization of drug dealers became a chance to settle an old score, and took Frank far from his home. But springtime has returned to New York City, and so has the Punisher.
