The jungles of South East Asia, the killing fields, a war zone. Frank Castle learned the art of death in this tropical nightmare. Before becoming the grim visage of justice known as the Punisher, he was a marine special forces sergent. This is his last and most deadly tour of duty. Cut off from his squad and fighting alone, Castle must rescue a group of downed American airmen from the clutches of a sadistic and insane prison camp vivisectionist, who has no reverence for human life - especially Frank Castle's!

Story/Spoilers:

The ‘Nam #52 - January 1991

“The Long Sticks - Part 1”, A Vietnamese sniper known as "The Monkey" is picking off American soldiers in the Duc Pho Province with alarming ease, making shots no average man should be able to achieve. After he takes down an American Colonel, the military decides it's time to shut him down. They select the best man for the job, ace sniper Sgt. Frank Castle, and send him into enemy territory with a squad of the best men they have to offer. Castle and his men run into trouble. The entire team except Castle is killed and Frank is taken prisoner. There he is confronted by The Monkey, who brags to him about the target of his next mission. Monkey sets off to kill Frank's mentor Captain James, and Frank seemingly hangs himself in his makeshift cell.

The ‘Nam #53 - February 1991

“The Long Sticks - Part 2”, The story begins with prison of war Sgt. Frank Castle found by a Vietnamese solider, hanging in his cell. The soldier enters the cell and Frank springs into action.

Castle leaves a trail of dead Vietnamese soldiers in his wake as he escapes and sets out to intercept the sniper known as "The Monkey". A group of soldiers find another vietnamese soldier's body tied to a tree with the calling card white skull painted on his carcass and begin to fear the crazy American soldier. Castle leaves a trail of death and destruction everywhere he goes until he finally reaches The Monkey. The Monkey believes he has gotten the drop on Castle, but it was a set-up by Frank, who takes out the Monkey with a "million-to-one shot".
