Written by ROY THOMAS, CHRIS CLAREMONT, LEN WEIN, DOUG MOENCH & TONY ISABELLA
Penciled by GIL KANE, JOHN BYRNE, LARRY HAMA, ARVELL JONES & PAT BRODERICK
Cover by GIL KANE
In 1974, nobody was kung-fu fighting like Marvel Comics, and at the forefront of the craze was Daniel Rand — the Iron Fist! A Himalayan expedition in search of the mystical mountain city of K’un-Lun left 9-year-old Daniel’s father murdered by his partner Harold Meachum and his mother dead. However, Daniel found the path to the K’un-Lun, and there he spent a decade training under its immortal inhabitants. After years of ceaseless tutelage, he became an unmatched master of martial arts and spiritual control; armed with the shattering power of the iron fist, he left immortality behind to set out into the Western world and avenge his parents’ deaths. Packed with wall-to-wall kung-fu action, Iron Fist runs a gauntlet through the Kara-Kai death cult and ninja adversaries, and into mystic dimensions where the battle must be fought with mind and spirit. But Iron Fist’s saga not only follows Daniel Rand’s quest for vengeance — it also introduces Marvel mainstays Colleen Wing and Misty Knight, guest stars the Marvel Bullpen, and brings together for the very first time the creative team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne! It’s the beginnings of a true comic-book classic that can only be called a MARVEL MASTERWORKS! Collecting MARVEL PREMIERE #15-25 and IRON FIST #1-2.

Cover by DAVE JOHNSON
Celebrated crime novelists Gregg Hurwitz (The Kill Clause, The Crime Writer), Duane Swierczynski (The Blonde, Severance Package) and Victor Gischler (Gun Monkeys, Pistol Poets) take on the scourge of the underworld in five tales of death, depravity, revenge, blackmail and the evil that lurks in the hearts of men! They descend on the little Mexican town of Tierra Rota under cover of night, abducting its women and returning them days later like broken dolls. Frank Castle is no hero, but there are some things the Punisher just can’t abide. Injected with a serum that will leave him dead by dawn, there’s only one thing Frank wants to do before he dies: take as many bad guys as he can with him.
Traveling the Louisiana back roads, the Punisher steps into a world of unspeakable horror. He’s crossed paths with plenty of unsavory characters, but nothing has prepared him for the Geautreauxs. Vette’s little black book is filled with the dark secrets of movie stars, politicians and gangsters — including a powerful Miami drug lord who hides in an impenetrable fortress. And Vette is the Punisher’s ticket inside. There’s nothing like fishing with friends, especially on the eve of the biggest criminal deal of your careers. Until your engine explodes, your boat sinks, and the backstabbing begins — and the only life preserver is in the hands of a man who wears a black shirt with a skull on it. Collecting PUNISHER #61-65, PUNISHER: FRANK CASTLE MAX #66-74, PUNISHER: FORCE OF NATURE and PUNISHER MAX SPECIAL: LITTLE BLACK BOOK.
