The Holy

Few characters capture the darkly absurdist spirit of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's celebrated Punisher run quite like The Holy, who stepped onto the page in 2000 alongside Frank Castle, Ma Gnucci, and the memorably hapless Detective Martin Soap. A Modern Age Marvel creation born from one of the most acclaimed creative teams to ever tackle the Punisher, The Holy occupies that wonderfully strange corner of the Marvel Knights universe where crime, chaos, and pitch-black comedy collide. With appearances stretching across nearly two decades and collected in the essential Marvel Knights Punisher by Garth Ennis: The Complete Collection, this is a character whose staying power in the catalog speaks to the enduring cult love for that era — well worth seeking out for any serious Punisher devotee.
