Punisher & Fury Max

Legendary PUNISHER scribe Garth Ennis reveals the secret, bloody history of Frank Castle and Nick Fury!

Before the Punisher was born in Vietnam, Frank Castle had already become a dark legend of the battlefield. Now learn the truth about Castle’s first command — and his first kill. It’s the answer to the question: What made the Punisher? Colonel Nick Fury certainly had an impact along the way. As an old man, Nick sits alone in a dank hotel room, coughing his confessions into a tape recorder, laying out a legacy of carnage stretching back to World War II — including his encounters with a young Marine sniper named Frank Castle. You won’t believe the horrors Frank and Nick went through in Vietnam — and how they survived to tell the tale! Nick’s constant lust for combat has blinded him to all other concerns, but the end is coming. The debt is long past due. And Fury’s true legacy will soon be written in blood for all to see. Plus: a modern-day tale of the Punisher, rooted in seeds planted decades ago in Moscow and Afghanistan!
