10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Punisher You Won't Believe Exist

Have you ever wondered what would happen if The Punisher took on Dutch Schultz? You have? Well, this comic is for you.

Returning from World War One to his family run store, Castle's life would be touched by tragedy when cancer claims his wife, leaving Frank Sr to raise his son by himself. Matters are only complicated further when a new mob moves into the neighbourhood and starts to demand protection money from everyone, but being a double hard bastard he refuses to pay, and lays a serious smackdown on his would-be assailants. In doing so, he incurs the wrath of their rather unstable boss.

Punisher Noir (like 'A Man Named Frank' before it) draws heavily on the genre of movie it was so obviously inspired by while adding a touch of the old ultra violence to give it a modern feel that those films couldn't show due to heavy censorship.

The story of one man's refusal to bow to a mafia run city becomes one of vengeance after three hitmen are sent to dispatch him, and soon enough the familiar white skull motif will be worn by both father and son.
