Punisher-Born

Here are some snapshots from Punisher: Born. It is written by Garth Ennis and Illustrated by Darick Robertson.
This story talks about what happened to Frank Castle in the war before he was The Punisher.

If you have read about the gritty and violent Punisher : Max series also written by Garth Ennis, you might have a little bit of idea about what is going to come in this short comic series.

Here you can see the artist Darick Robertson trying to portray the scenario of the Vietnam war with as much detail as possible. There are trenches and artilleries everywhere and you can see a plane flying really close to the ground over here.

without much surprise, the plane was blown out of the sky soon enough. this goes on to say that the situation in war is always hellish for every party involved. nobody is real winner as both the supposed winner and loser has to go through a substantial loss to gain anything worthwhile for them. all of that can be portrayed by just the two pictures on this comic.

this guy is actually the narrator of this one shot comic titled, Punisher: Born. aptly titled, as punisher was really born from war. some say that he was born after his wife and children were killed in gang war needlessly, but he wouldn't be the character everyone knows and loves without participating in the war and getting trained in a very specialized skill set. that is exactly what we see in this comic short.

you only see the inner monologue of this one little soldier, and at the end of the comic short, when this soldier, along with all other soldier with the troop are dead, you can see the monologue between frank castle and some other entity.

here you can see the man himself 'Frank Castle' leading a troop behind him. the troops always felt safe with castle having their back. and they had every reason to feel safe, because frank castle has had proved himself on the battlefield grounds time and time again that he was more than capable enough to take out a lot of enemy soldiers on his own.
punisher born
once again, you can see that the aeroplane is crashing and a soldier is running away from the plane because if this poor little guy is anywhere in the vicinity when the plane crashes, he might as well be dead. that is why he is running for his life.
