Having first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #129, Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, got his own title at last with the premiere of this five-part limited series. 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.
The limited series begins when Castle is sentenced to serve out a long term in the Rykers Island maximum security facility. As can be expected, he makes no friends among his fellow inmates, and the resulting violence threatens to tear the prison apart. When Castle stops a mass-jailbreak, the warden recruits him into a secret organization which promises to free the Punisher to do what he does best—fight crime with deadly finality.
