Featuring The Punisher: Back to School Specials for 1992, 1993, 1994. The Complete “Series”!

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!

After having first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #129, Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, later got his own title. Following up on this title’s popularity, Marvel later introduced several other titles featuring the death-dealing vigilante, including Punisher, Punisher: War Zone, and Punisher War Journal. Then during the height of the Punisher craze in the mid-1990’s comes… The Punisher: Back to School Specials.

If you thought school couldn’t get any tougher, imagine the Punisher as your gym teacher as he goes undercover to track down a lowlife who sells guns to kids. In another story, he’s the truant officer from hell, as two kids cutting classes come between the Punisher and a drug dealer. In the end, the kids get some rather compelling motivation to stay in school. Featuring all-new Punisher stories for its fevered Punisher fans to enjoy.
