The Punisher, whose next attempt at motion picture glory will be guest-appearing in the upcoming Iron Man/Hulk cartoon, is currently starring in Do Not Fall in New York City, a seven-and-a-half minute short film that adapts one of the most popular single issues of the Garth Ennis/Steve Dillon run on The Punisher.The story revolved around a friend of Frank Castle’s from his days in the Viet Nam war, who murders his family and ends up in Punisher’s sights. It was a critically-acclaimed and fan-favorite episode, which set up easy parallels between The Punisher (whose family was taken from him) and those he stalks.Check it out below–the art itself is far from perfect, but for those of us who have watched each subsequent Punisher film with a mounting frustration that they don’t just do a truer adaptation, it’s a welcome attempt to do just that.
