| 520 | |a The Punisher made his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man in 1974, fighting crime with violence -- and willingness to kill -- that set him apart from the typical comic book hero. Nearly fifty years later, he is a global icon, poised between hero and anti-hero, drawing praise and condemnation, and frequently featuring in stories that have wider cultural resonance. In this book, Kent Worcester explores the Punisher in all his contradictions.
