Punisher TPB question

[X23]

Hey everyone. I'm interested in reading the Marvel Knights Punisher series, but I'm having a problem trying to collect it all.

Issues 1-12 seem to be in: Punisher, Welcome Back Frank here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0785107835/qid=1115831028/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-4361326-7015034)

But after that I'm not sure where to get the rest of the issues.

There is: Punisher Volume 3 Hardcover (http://www.grasshopperscomics.com/search_main.php?action=showbook&bookid=2042&invid=2003) ... but it does not say what issues are included in it.

So I have issues 1-12 locked down, but not the rest. can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

On top of the trades Ratzo listed, there are also three hardcovers (four if you count Ennis's PUNISHER: BORN).

Volume One collects MK V1 #1-12.
Volume Two collects MK V2 #1-7 and #13-18.
Volume Three collects MK V2 #19-27.

Thanks so much for the breakdown, Ratzo! Also thank you Maestro for the weblink and Expletive for the hardcover information! I'm going to try to snatch those up!

Thanks =)

You should also pick up "Born". More or less essential if we're to understand the motivations of Garth's Punisher (it's not as simple as "they killed his wife so he kills them")

Are there any HCs?

[ratzo]

I believe there are three.

**smacks self upside head for forgetting about Born**

Gah, I'm an idiot, how did I miss expletives list of the HCs?

Anyway, why isn't max 8-12 collected in the HC?

Are the Punisher MK TPBs even still in print? I don't see them available on Amazon or B&N.

They're hard to find. I was only able to get Welcome Back Frank at a local Forbidden Planet, and Gaz sold me his copy of Army of One. I saw Streets of Laredo once and I'm kicking myself that I didnt buy it.

Anyway, why isn't max 8-12 collected in the HC?They're not written by Ennis, drawn by Dillon, or any good.

#8 is a legendarily bad Ron Zimmerman effort involving time travel and a dream sequence and #9-12 is a pretty dire story by Tom Peyer featuring Frank fighting evil cabbies.
