The Punisher #14

Dec 1988 · Marvel · 1.00 USD; 1.25 CAD; 0.50 GBP
“Social Studies”

In "Social Studies," Mike Rockwitz and Bob Camp deliver a sharp, character-driven entry in The Punisher series, spotlighting Frank Castle’s relentless pursuit of justice amid a world that feels increasingly corrupt. The story unfolds with a grounded, almost documentary-like tone, weaving in real-world details like a wedding anniversary and editorial workshops—hinting at a universe where even the most brutal vigilante operates within a broader, more complex reality. Cover by Whilce Portacio and Scott Williams adds a stark, gritty edge that perfectly complements the issue’s tone.
