Punisher

From 1990 to 1991, German publisher Bastei Verlag released a six-issue Punisher series, bringing Frank Castle’s brutal brand of vigilante justice to a European audience. Written by a rotating team of Mike Baron, Peter Schwindt, and Steven Grant, with art by Mike Zeck, Klaus Janson, and David Ross, this short-lived run offered a distinctive take on the character during the height of his late-80s/early-90s popularity. It stands as a notable international expansion of the Punisher mythos, showcasing how the iconic antihero translated across borders.
