Since the Punisher's first appearance in the pages of Spider-Man
#129, the character has become one of the most popular and
controversial figures in Marvel's vast universe. The Punisher
represents one of the most recognizable types of anti-heroes. His
iconic skull insignia stands for a unique type of justice:
protecting the innocent while violently eliminating everyone he
sees as a villain. This collection examines the Punisher from
philosophical perspectives about morality and justice. Essays
critique the character through the lenses of gender and feminism;
consider the Punisher's veteran status in relation the Vietnam,
Afghanistan and Iraq wars; and examine how politics and gun
violence connect the Punisher's world with the real world. Many
iterations of the Punisher are examined within, including the
Netflix release of Marvel's The Punisher, comics series such as
Punisher: MAX, Marvel Knights, and Cosmic Ghost Rider, and several
fan fiction stories.
