Punisher Epic Collection: Survival

A never-before-collected era of the Punisher!

Frank Castle’s relentless war on crime continues, pitting him against arms dealers, arsonists and crooked businessmen from Alaska to New York City! The Punisher and his ally Microchip offer their own unique brand of tech support when a corporate front for a drug-smuggling ring is struck by a computer virus! Frank faces a very different kind of killing machine in the robot Eradikator 6! And when brutal murders of the homeless set the Punisher and Spider-Man on a mission to find the cause, they have a savage suspect in their sights: Sabretooth! Plus: a thrilling reimagination of the Punisher mythos in the Old West! When desperados torch his farm, butcher his family and shove him out into the scorching desert to perish, a man named Frank refuses to die — and sets off on a ruthless quest for vengeance!
