Frank Castle first became the Punisher during his final tour of Vietnam, but what about his first tour of duty? A new Marvel miniseries launching this October will answer that.
Punisher: The Platoon by Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov is a prequel to 2003’s Born, showing that even before there was a Punisher there was a darkness inside Frank Castle. Previously hinted at in convention appearances, The Platoon will detail Frank Castle’s first military command as well as his first kill.
Ennis and Parlov talked with Newsarama about this upcoming six-issue series, and explored their own past with the gun-toting antihero – as well as their own past working together.
