Written by MATT FRACTION Penciled by HOWARD CHAYKIN Cover by ALEX MALEEV The Punisher isn't known for taking prisoners-so what's life like for those rare few that DO survive their run-ins with Frank Castle? When we last saw The Gibbon, he'd been poisoned and blown up by the Punisher and left to roast alive in a bar full of his D-List cohorts. And today? He lives in hiding with a fellow survivor, plotting his revenge against the man that took his life away, every tick of the clock bringing him closer to an inevitable explosion of violence. Fandom has spoken, and it has said 'Gibbon.' We listened. You're welcome.

And he ended up a prisoner on The Raft-one that escaped during The Breakout. The two constants in his completely insane life have been his absolute brilliance, and his utter hatred of Tony Stark. And now, in his way, he too is a victim of Frank Castle...Take a look inside the life and times of this very special madman, courtesy of Matt Fraction (THE IMMORTAL IRON FIST, THE ORDER, CASANOVA) and Howard Chaykin (Wolverine, Howard Chakin's American Flagg!) 32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$2.99 Cover price $2.99.
