The "Graphic Novel of the Week" (GNOTW) makes it's #DORK Blog debut! This week we'll take a look at a terrific Punisher origin story, written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys), BORN. This 4-issue run centers around Frank Castle while fighting in Vietnam.
This is early days Punisher, in fact, not even the Punisher we know and love now. Frank is a genuine badass marine in charge of a platoon but still having to answer to higher ups. We get to see the back story on Castle and understand how a man without super powers can rip shit up against those who do.
If you're looking for the skull logo, white boots, and interactions with Daredevil or Spider-Man, you won't find it here. Instead you get the background for what all other incarnations of the character, including the Netflix portrayal, should be.
I'm sure Punisher fans have already read this, but for those who haven't give it a go, especially before the stand alone Punisher series is released.
