Punisher MAX. Complete Collection. Volume 1

A new collection of classic Punisher stories by Garth Ennis! From 2003 to 2008, writer Garth Ennis worked with some of the best artists and released an unforgettable series of comics about the Punisher. Before you is a collection of... stories that changed Frank Castle's world forever. It all started with Birth. The Vietnam War is nearing its end, but Captain Frank Castle does not wish to see it finished. Soon, the soldiers at the Welli-Ford outpost will face a fight to the death, and their commander's obsession may prove far more terrifying than the enemies at their door. At the beginning, we find Castle in New York City after the events of September 11, waging a personal war against crime. A bloody massacre shifts the balance of power in the criminal underworld, and new players arrive in the city. But America has become much more dangerous, and for brutal people, foreign conflicts are just beneficial. The CIA has set its sights on a potential operative in the fight against terror - Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher... However, they have yet to realize that they are playing with fire. The fading ghosts of the Irish mafia - psychopaths and sadists known as the Westies - still haunt what was once Hell's Kitchen, staggering through its bars and alleys. The Punisher dives into the heart of an ancient rivalry when dangerous guests arrive in 21st century Manhattan with old grievances, and an unexpected acquaintance from Castle's past is ready to add fuel to this fire. The true Irish America in the Irish forge. The collection includes comics Birth #1-4 and Punisher #1-12 by writer Garth Ennis and artists Derrick Robertson, Lewis Larosa, and Leandro Fernandez.
