Steven Grant

Steven Grant is the writer who put the Punisher on the map as a solo star. His 1985–86 miniseries with artist Mike Zeck, The Punisher: Circle of Blood, took Frank Castle from occasional guest vigilante to franchise anchor, establishing the grim, methodical tone that every later Punisher run would build on. A prolific Marvel and DC hand, Grant also created the creator-owned character Whisper.

Circle of Blood is the cornerstone of the modern Punisher line — the story that justified a monthly ongoing and shaped decades of the character. Collected in omnibus and hardcover form, Grant's Punisher work shows the original blueprint before Garth Ennis and others expanded it: lean, brutal crime storytelling with Zeck's iconic Frank Castle art.

Rom: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 2

The concluding half of Marvel's Bronze Age cult favourite: Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema drive Rom the Spaceknight's war against the Dire Wraiths to its finish, exposing the shapeshifters' invasion across the wider Marvel Universe before Rom finally regains his humanity. Long out of print in single issues, the Rom run stayed unreprinted for decades due to licensing, making this omnibus the only complete way to own the ending.
