The Punisher (a.k.a. Frank Castle) was created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita Sr. and Ross Andru, with publisher Stan Lee green-lighting the name. The Punisher made his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #129 (cover-dated February 1974). The Punisher is a war veteran and a United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper skilled in hand-to-hand combat, guerrilla warfare, and marksmanship.

Driven by the deaths of his wife and two children who were killed by the mob for witnessing a killing in New York City’s Central Park, Frank Castle becomes a vigilante who employs murder, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence, and torture in his campaign against crime. As the Punisher, he wages a one-man war on the mob and all violent criminals. His family’s killers were the first to be… Punished!

What if Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, lived during the waning days of the Wild, Wild, West?

“I thought I could kill four men and it would end. It never ends. A lot more men have to die before I can make this right. A part of me knows it will never be right. I just have nowhere to go. And there’s nothing else for it. Nothing else but to stick to the trail I’ve cut for myself. To ride where the law doesn’t reach. And to punish all trespassers.” -Frank

Story/Spoilers
He had come home from war to work the farm with his wife, and to raise the kids in the peace he had fought for. When desperados torch his farm, butcher his wife and children, and shove him out into the scorching desert sun to perish slowly, this man refuses to die. Instead, he crawls back to his now silent homestead, buries his family, unearths his war chest, and then sets out on a ruthless quest across still-untamed America, a manhunt that will last years. A vigilante has been born. Heralded writer Chuck Dixon and legendary illustrator John Buscema bring you a tale – set in the twilight of the Old West – of the vigilante, the man… A man named Frank.
