Frank Castle aka The Punisher isn’t exactly a good guy, but you could say he does bad things for good reasons. Basically he kills people, but they are people who are murderers or rapists and who have often escaped justice so Frank dishes his own brand of justice. Frank is a vigilante who does whatever he can to take on criminals and his history in the military means not only is he comfortable in using a wide variety of weapons but he is also a tactical genius and is a master of martial arts.
Frank Castle is definitely an anti-hero but that’s what makes him so compelling. The first time I came across Frank was in The Punisher (2004) which I thought was an OK film and it got me interested in the character (have to say I love the scene where Frank has a bow and arrow), then I watched Punisher: War Zone (2008) which was brutal but brilliant. Now Frank is in the latest series of Daredevil which I’ve yet to watch but I can’t wait to see what he’s like in it – fun fact, I have only watch the first episode of the first series of Daredevil and don’t really care much about Daredevil as a character but the fact that Punisher is in the second series really makes me want to catch up.
I’ve now read some of The Punisher comics, mainly the series by Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads which I loved. I love the art style and it was a great insight into Frank’s character and the fact he does care about people even though he tries hard not to. He sees things as very black and white – you’re either good or bad and he treats you accordingly, he can be terrifying but there’s something strangely reassuring about Frank Castle.
To get an introduction to Frank Castle, one of the best places you can go is watch Dirty Laundry, a fan-made short film that is really great.

I first came across Frank in the lastest series of Daredevil and he quickly became one of my favorite Marvel anti-heroes!
He is such a interesting anti-hero! I need to hurry up and watch Daredevil because I’ve heard nothing but good things about how Punisher is portrayed in the show!

I have never come across Frank. To tell the truth, it doesn’t sound like my kind of movie because the visuals of violence remain in my mind after the…wait, is this a film or a comic? I could stand a comic of the stories above.

It’s both! It’s a comic character that’s had a couple of films and TV appearances. If you want to give the comic a go, I’d recommend the series by Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads, the first volume is called “Black and White” and it gives a good intro to the character in my opinion. 🙂 I haven’t read a lot of the comics but and here’s a great guide to Punisher comics that I can’t wait to read.
