Punisher Holiday Special
(Marvel, 1993-1995)
™ and ©1994 Marvel Entertainment Group
The Punisher Summer Special brings Punisher action to the heat of summer; the Punisher Back to School Special is there to ease the transition to the school year; now, the Punisher Holiday Special arrives to brighten the winter holidays.
These holiday specials contain some of the fiercest Punisher tales yet. In “Red Christmas,” the Punisher is lured to a shopping mall after closing hours on Christmas Eve. He had heard that the mall was to be robbed, but discovered too late that the whole thing was a set up to let a mob boss gain revenge on the Punisher—the man who killed his father. Castle must fight not only for his life, but also for the life of a young runaway. In another story, “Armed Salvation,” the Punisher helps stop a hit on a witness against a New York crimelord. In doing so, he gives the witness a lesson in standing up for what you believe.
