The study delves into the evolution of Frank Castle, known as the Punisher, as a cultural icon from the 1970s to today. It examines nearly five decades of comics and graphic novels, highlighting the complex themes of justice and punishment within his narrative. Worcester argues that the Punisher's portrayal raises critical questions about the nature of punishment as a societal construct, exploring who deserves punishment and the legitimacy of violence. This political engagement positions the Punisher uniquely within the Marvel Universe, making his stories particularly significant.
