- This is the first volume solely dedicated to The Punisher since his debut in 1973.
- The Punisher (Volume 1) has been reprinted in Punisher: Circle of Blood Volume 1, Punisher Magazine Volume 1, Essential Series: Punisher Volume 1, and Epic Collection: Punisher Volume 1.
Notes[]
- In issue #2, Angela mentions that an unknown person set fire to her family's restaurant which killed her father and her brothers, however seeing that she was trying to convince Frank to join her team known as The Trust, it's more than likely she was lying about their fates, so they won't be counted.
