Frank Castle first became the Punisher during his final tour of Vietnam, but what about his first tour of duty? A new Marvel miniseries launching this October will answer that.

Punisher: The Platoon by Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov is a prequel to 2003's Born, showing that even before there was a Punisher there was a darkness inside Frank Castle. Previously hinted at in convention appearances, The Platoon will detail Frank Castle's first military command as well as his first kill.
