Features an exclusive foreword by Punisher actor Jon Bernthal.

Includes a brand-new introduction by author Garth Ennis.

Presented in a newly designed book-format edition.

Jon Bernthal returns in the upcoming special presentation featuring the Punisher on Disney+

Frank Castle is a one-man army locked, loaded and ready to take down anyone in his way.


The Punisher makes his return by eliminating the ruthless Ma Gnucci’s crime family — pursued by the NYPD’s two-detective Punisher Task Force, crazed contract killer the Russian and super hero Daredevil…and emulated by three copycat killers who want to join forces with him. The over-the-top action builds toward a showdown in the apartment building Frank shares with his colorful fellow residents. Castle must survive to finish his vendetta, making sure his neighbors aren’t caught in the crossfire while evil is punished. With this series, writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon — together with inker Jimmy Palmiotti and iconic cover artist Tim Bradstreet — gave the Punisher a redefining fresh start that once more made him a force to be reckoned with!

COLLECTING: Punisher (2000) #1-12.
“When I think of the Punisher, I think of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. Theirs is the definitive run and partnership, and Welcome Back, Frank is one of the great chapters in comics storytelling — a blend of gritty noir, dark intelligence, unrelenting action, gore-drenched mayhem and a necessary dash of mad-hatter humor.” – Benjamin Percy, award-winning author of The Ninth Metal, Red Moon, and The Dead Lands and writer of Punisher, Wolverine, X-Force, and Ghost Rider

“Garth Ennis’s legendary run on The Punisher begins here, in this hilarious, violent, heart-tugging volume. Trust me, you want to read it right now. And get a haircut!” – Stuart Moore, author of Captain America for Dummies and Thanos: Death Sentence and New York Times Best-Selling co-author of The Zodiac Legacy with Stan Lee

Welcome Back, Frank is a near-perfect synthesis of everything that makes the Punisher entertaining, while never quite forgetting how reprehensible he can be. There’s a reason it’s often cited as the character’s finest hour.” – AIPT
