All the books by Ross Andru adapted to cinema and television

Marine veteran Frank Castle, known throughout New York City as “the Punisher” after exacting revenge on those responsible for the death of his family, uncovers a larger conspiracy beyond what was done to him and his family.

In a run-down neighborhood, Frank Castle wakes up and exits his van to get his laundry done. Minutes later, a boy named DeShawn crosses through the neighborhood and is harassed by the gang while Goldtooth offers him an opportunity to sell drugs for them. When DeShawn refuses, the gang members begin to mug him.

A smuggling operation in Tampa Bay results in the deaths of Bobby Saint, the son of mafia boss Howard Saint, and Otto Krieg, an arms dealer. With the help of information provided by Mickey Duka, Saint’s less malevolent henchman, Castle studies the Saint family and learns their every move, during which he discovers Glass to be a closeted homosexual.

Having lost his family to mob violence, former Force Recon Marine Frank Castle has spent the last five years as a vigilante known as the Punisher. Cesare’s caporegime Billy The Beaut Russotti escapes to his recycling plant hideout, and Detectives Martin Soap and Saffiotti, who were staking out the party, inform Castle.

Ex-Marine Frank Castle is a former undercover police detective whose wife Julie was killed five years ago, along with their daughters Annie and Felice, by a Mafia car bomb intended for Frank…who is also presumed to be dead. The underworld families have become so weakened by the Punisher’s guerrilla warfare that kingpin Gianni Franco is forced out of retirement.
