Punisher & Nightstalkers #5 1993

In Nightstalkers #5 from Marvel (1993), the supernatural team interrupts a cult's sacrificial rites, leading to a brutal encounter with the villain Shiv, who makes his first appearance. After Shiv escapes and causes a tragic loss for the Casim family, the Punisher becomes involved, vowing vengeance. This issue is notable for bringing Frank Castle into the realm of Marvel's horror characters, as he crosses paths with Blade, Hannibal King, and Frank Drake while pursuing justice for the victims.
