Punisher: The Trial of the Punisher # 1 2013 NM-

Punisher: The Trial of the Punisher #1, released by Marvel Comics on September 25, 2013, is the first part of a two-issue limited series that places Frank Castle in an unfamiliar environment: a courtroom.

Written by Marc Guggenheim with grit-laden artwork by Leinil Francis Yu, the story subverts the typical vigilante dynamic by focusing on the legal fallout of Frank Castle's actions.

What Book One Is About

• The Unthinkable Surrender: The issue kicks off with a shocking twist—Frank Castle voluntarily turns himself over to the New York City Police Department after admitting to the cold-blooded murder of District Attorney Alex Shapiro.
• The Trial of the Century: With the Punisher behind bars, Gotham-style media frenzies erupt as the public trial begins. Castle is assigned a defense attorney, and the courtroom drama unfolds as prosecutors try to permanently put away Marvel's most prolific vigilante. 
• An Ultimate Hidden Motive: As the legal proceedings drag on, it becomes increasingly clear that the Punisher has zero remorse and has no intention of being locked away forever. His surrender is a calculated chess move, using the high-security trial to get close to a target he couldn't reach on the streets.
