Set Description:
The Punisher even in somewhat modern times was after the whole city, to clean it up and or put it in order!
Punisher, Frank Castle, is gunning for the Marvel Universe! The Punisher is sniping! The Punisher is on the roof tops; the Punisher is firing off all the bullets he's got! He's on the mission and will pull out all the stops!
A heap of a good time, if you like adrenaline, anyway it is a fueled ride. As much as the Punisher is against "drugs" or what is "illegal", he sure is most often after the thrill of it all. It doesn't bring "joy" half the time, and that's for sure.
The Punisher? He is not always good with it either!

Punisher hasn't run out of ways to get the job done, though he's almost looked under every stone. A heart made of flesh that isn't so rock hard may not be allowed in his day to day, but keeping with the times, somehow, he gets by.
Going for points on any scoreboard, the Punisher is raking in the plots and executing the judgements that he has made to consider himself a powerful shaker and mover. Mostly within the Spider-man Marvel Universe at first, but then on to his own missions and calls to battle.
Frank Castle is caught in the middle of good vs evil, and flipping a coin or by a chance of whimsy pulls out his own victories. It isn't all by way of a gamble, as he is also very calculated and precise, it is just the choices themselves and how they are accomplished that are the risk takers, and with Frank Castle as the Punisher expect it to be quite ruthless.
He has his own emotions when coming to decisions, but they are often overridden by the urgency of what he is called upon, and a military background will train that focus into a sharpened weapon.

1st appearance of the Punisher (Frank Castle) and the Jackal. Signature Series by Stan Lee. Mark Jeweler insert and one of the first 4 books I got signed on 6/4/16. I dropped them all off at the Fan Expo Dallas 2016, which was my first bigger comic con. A 3.0, but with white pages. Many years from now, I hope mine is still as unique as it is today, no matter the grade! A great story, as the Punisher thinks Spidey is the bad guy. At the behest of a character named the "Jackal" there is seemingly information that is being fed to the Punisher, to get him to try to take the Amazing Spider-man down. Fast on his feet, Spidey escapes the bullet meant for him, among rooftops and talks some smack! Not to be out done the book wraps up as a plan foiled, but maybe foiled for another day, which means coming to terms with new enemies and friends.
 Long ago, but not as long ago as you'd like to think. Painting a picture that is nice on paper but takes training and much responsibility in the realities of life.
Complete with a back cover picture of the ongoing adventures involving the Punisher, in gallery statue form. Hoping always to protect, and yet casualties happen, all in a day's work! Some grim exiles to last see the Punisher before their demise! Such a dynamic personality that spoke to the times. $467 Cost.

Signature Series by Len Wein on 7/23/17 and Gerry Conway on 6/24/17!1st appearance of Dominic Fortune. Pendleton Interview. Punisher Origin. One of the first two magazines that I submitted for grading! It's good that I got the Len Wein while possible, he RIP later that year. Still wish that I could have met him in person, great writer! This Punisher Origin kicks names and takes off to new heights and depths with emotional pleas for vengeance? Those are the past-times to the Punisher and what it takes to make a vigilante with an unrequited death wish to see justice dispensed, to those "deserving?" It will take a year or two, scratch that decades, no scratch that, to 2099 to see the ultimate Punishing. He gets used to the crime fighting that came, from inference, from the military, of which he still does business with from time to time. In the origin it was on his leave and at a picnic! Very sobering.
 One man armory with armament!
Complete with a back cover picture of the "Race" that the Punisher seems to be on, an all incorporating prophecy? Check please!

Jigsaw appearance. Steve Grant story. Mike Zeck & John Beatty art. Mike Zeck cover. No one ever wants to take over the story, as everyone would like to leave it up to the original, author and finisher! Mike Zeck? Once started it is up to Him to complete the good work that we are prepared for and is no different with the Punisher who finds himself quite literally in a badland while friend zoned with himself. It will take the pluck and the prick of ears to sit upright and follow the main counselor within and navigate the all-out call. Frank Castle, as armored as he is, drives a simple fleshly fragile human type of persona but uses it as a lashing in 39 types of ways and all at once in each issue. He isn't taken aback at himself very often, although he does call out for the passing of his loved and cherished significant other, and quite a bit after so much loss, a good winner he may be when he ever finds himself alaudid as one.
 "NUMBER 1!" I won and got a glow in the Dark Badlands T-shirt as a prize, for getting up in front of the audience to shout, "GET TO THE CHOPPAH!"
Complete with a back cover picture of the screen at the prescreen of, "Predator: Badlands!" An IMAX action pack that makes you cry for your mommy. In the sense of when a father doesn't spare the rod and ooh how it is about to get humble in here. It is about Predator family and not the rib-tickling variety, but I don't want to be in a pickle, dilemma, nor tickle someone else's rib kind, but rather the rib spreader blades up the "vine like" monsters sojourning a Damascus Road.

Steven Grant story. Mike Zeck & John Beatty art. Mike Zeck cover. Back in around 2016, when I was returning to specifically the comic hobby, Mike Zeck was hard at work signing and working with covers plus sketches and making a show of the turnaround that was his legacy. The Punisher as a character works on so many levels, but not so at the same time. As a read it is comparable to a compilation of time and efforts that put these reads into a drama of a character and plot, by sitting the reader back to let loose with how Frank would navigate. Knowing his history as we do that an anti-villain with a bigger stick, which is not always a fashionable nor sought venue of expression, and it makes for the grandiose explosions all the more real! In a day and age where you've got to stick to guns but more to the peace to wield what weapon you attain as the games in life are more a reality frame of mind, such is Life, such is Christ, and such is the cost of liberty and the pursuit of those heavy praised happiness dwellings that a river runs through.
 Hmm, No? Know? Doctor, give me the news, I got a bad case of loving you, know/no pill is going to cure my ill; I've got a bad case of LOVE in You.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released publicly to the movie, "Running Man!" Get back to where you once belonged, Loretta, in the turtleneck sweater; get back home Loretta. This explosive cat chase mousy mayhem may meet the magnolia maleficence toward any malaise! Who walks behind me! ~ Smashing Pumpkins. Run into the hands of love, nothing but the blood.

Steven Grant story. Mike Zeck & John Beatty art. Mike Zeck cover. A telling of a bad landing in a bad way on a bad day, by the badlands of desert seeking hombres, that curtail the backlog of bad guys into a Punishers consciousness, view and barrel sites. Whether the caliber gauge is clean and set or wafting of a spent full load, it reigns either way to marry the Punisher to an idea of getting back to the villain's fray, keeping them away from any harm to be done and spraying some aerosol raid. The Punisher this time is from Mike Zeck and is a time-honored limited series tradition that speaks to educational nerves being tested to stay teachable, like a toothache of the newfound love of the city, from Frank Castle's families cause and the gospel to be dispensed of his supposed justice in mercy. Not a relationship all that easy to talk and live, but the mercies new each morning are sometimes to be faced that we dare to speak the Name of Yeshua and walk by the grace of good therein to the life found eternal. Bad guys and buys beware and aware, that it is out in the streets compelling the telling of the cross bourn much like some Jason movie sequels and or Friday the 13th as in Halloween. Humanities are curated when there is indeed some empathy and charities.
 Wristbands carve out hearts for stamps at prescreens.
 Countdown to doorbell ringing! Buying these #2-4 slabs circa Halloween 2025, when trick is a viable play of course but for sure there shall be a forecast of rain and definitely reign Butterfinger candy down all the same gullet gauntlet!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass to the movie before released publicly of, "Predator Badlands!" Indeed, some eerie and leap to actions by calls of the hunt to where is spread the table of ableness, humble beginnings and some girls and guys wondering why the opposites attract to any of these and those bigger fun guns!

Jigsaw appearance. Steven Grant story. Mike Zeck & John Beatty art. Mike Zeck cover. Piering and peering to pare the pair are the nutty "Punishers" of the world come to light and or dinner and seeking to whom does devour the "bread", but it isn't that on-tap party favoring drink that courses through their veins but instead a sobering justice of mercy. We all seek to read about and avoid a misguiding and or a parting of ways, but these ne'er-do-wells that do good by ignoring their plight, no? Or is it a justly cause, however, the call bells that sound toward that which tolls, *cough, with a bazooka? It might be better shaded as to what is prayed behind closed doors, in where we are rewarded openly that trust in the law, good and the right of One that will in the cross draw away and for the "betterment." Just, desserts! To find those cornucopias of the Punishers plight is as a platter served in a breaking of bread that is better loved than the money it causes or costs to do as we please. When even a Punisher must serve his own will of recanting, decanting and repentance toward his own conscience with vigilant diligence, but them is the breaks kid!
 Made out of clay and popsicle sticks! Close to my heart is, as is, a history lesson that justice is served with humble pie beginnings and as the remedy. The Punisher gets back in town to get around discipling by his own mind and heart. Squirrels break nuts for concentration starters, as would any animal or dog like variety distraction on a sunny day, and as a breaking away in some cause of smiles with kindness and laughter that alleviate blues, but as to life, the Punisher is as an expected end of rendering, as peace and love win out after prayers; although thankfully also at this time, circa 2025, as is any end from the beginning. ~ Isaiah 41:10
Complete with a back cover picture of the very same backyard bomber of nutty splicing in the trees that need cutting and just daring that we pick up and read about his loud munching. "Squirrels! Hold on to your nuts!" Hanging out the windows like the Punisher here this issue and being just as much a nuisance.

Jigsaw appearance. Steven Grant story. Mike Vosburg & John Beatty art. Mike Zeck cover. Mounting the trek and traversing the prevailing shells finds the match game tattle tales of the Punisher. In his praying or spraying that gun oil like a deodorant fragrance. He misses his family and who can relate but me in an encouraging as we hope it's not too late! With some wondering, "I just want to know who is driving a black Mitsubishi!" ~ Eminem (one shot, two shot). It isn't fainting in discipline for Frank, though, as a blackout vanned pulls out towards some late-night stakeout calling for walled justice of the slain, spirited and willing to be used. Readings shock the testimony upon shouting, "What can stay your cause?" Not to claim "what if" then, the freedom is to live in the liberty and not use as a cause to err. A narrow gate of choices plus decisions. A sheep's gate at that, which ends towards an obedience to laws, peace and the pursuit of happiness. America fought for that we may all seek to find, knocking to open, and renew asking for the old paths leading to the good old way!
 What do you obtain with the poorly done 1st hunts like a bus ride to the movies of last chances? To save the willing that are called out of the badlands, but Lord willing not as the predator as dust from your feet. The Punisher's got a ticket to ride and behaves as though we don't care, or that somehow life is not fair.
Complete with a back cover picture of me attempting to do just that with the night air crisp and Pantalone's pressed in towards for some looking at the sure and safely guided perfect law of freedom! A liberty of attempting a movie, and an outing for merch, a sushi date or taking a smoke break. Those who are loving a higher calling, called according to His purpose to make the peace with the heavenly. At the Angelika! It was where I first saw the Movie "Inglorious Bastards" and "The Wrestler" with Morisa Tomei. Times of getting back to the sobering places and practices that make the break of decisions and choices of liberty for the cause of freedom, justice and mercy, this circa 2025, and all called and accounted for in peace.

A rarer, non-foil edition of Punisher #100. This cover illustration only has a "direct version" and no newsstand edition. Cool Cover for Sure! Oh, Frank it NEVER ENDS does it!?! While I believe there is a foil direct and foil Newsstand, it had a different illustration on cover, of #100. I was told about this issue by Stormshadow_80 and Nepatkm, and Punisherpunisherpunisher, those 3 boardie's who are my Punisher knowledgeable people. There are others, and this issue is fun with the imaginative skeleton cover, withholding Frank back perfecting his aim. Got this copy from Duncanville Bookstore for a comfortable price. That is the problem with buying from Facebook live videos of LCS, you can't see it in person first. I'm happy it came back 9.0, even without a press, does my collection fine! The color really pops in this high of grade, and that is perfection.
 Plenty of side series in the 90's concerning the Punisher, same as Venom!
Complete with a back cover picture of the other giant size issues, in increments of 25, all leading closely to the end of the run with issue #100! The Punisher! He is the "living on the edge" type of judgement, Ha-Ha.

Classic Cover! A Chilling Cover of BullsEye out to get Frank Castle the Punisher. He never misses, and with his trusty blade is out to get his target! Bullseye has always been kind of creepy. Add in the 90's decade where creepy is "in", and you've got disturbed, probably. Most Punisher villains have lost it in a big way though. I still have a raw of this issue and who knows as an under copy, maybe it'll get slabbed. Got to keep up with the classics, right? These are the late into the 90's-decade issues, and although long running, with the Punisher appearing in so many crossovers, I think people got too much of him at the time. In today's arena, it could be argued the "Punisher" is probably not "encouraged" for other reasons. He still gets around to having a worthy cause, and the comics have tried to detour the forward momentum, but even Frank Castle has appeared in video games among other media!
 X never ever marks the spot?
Complete with back cover picture of the new style of eerie, with the Punisher artist Dell Otto, but they are similar to #102, in that the center of the cover draws you in! These artists are getting more defined, and it does take skill to make you "want to look" at the cover with awe! I've been pleasantly surprised by a lot of Punisher characters and covers, whom may not be considered your typical "super-hero!"

1st that the Wolverine meets the Punisher! In classic Jim Lee style. This would be an issue that would be bagged and boarded upon release, at least back in the day. Yes, the Wolverine and Punisher may have eventually tried to wear out their welcome throughout the 90's, they are still very popular reads and collectables. Found this at the used bookstore while bin diving, and yes, the stain on the back was a misstep on my part. A very fine edition that can keep its current spot in my collection, if for the cover only. The Wolverine and Punisher mini-series is also something I read upon release as a kid, so all of these are nostalgia driven for me. The Punisher or Wolverine thought that their justifications for "violence", and or, "heroics" were somehow different. How dare the other act the way they do?!? Indeed, neither is a team player, but if I had to choose, it's Logan by a claw length. Take your pick!
 There was so much to the Punisher in the late 80's to early 90's, even distributed "die-cut" covers!
Complete with a back cover picture of another "Punisher War" cover, a personal $1 bin find from a gaming store! This back cover "War Zone" issue is rumored to be hiding the 1st appearance of the "Lady Punisher", who went on to have her own wars in series and one shot!
Grader Notes:
stain right top of front cover;
tanning back cover;

The Punisher "KILLS" the Marvel Universe at the time in 1995! He's on a mountain of bodies, good or bad, the Punisher is coming for them! A must read and very titillating series! Big in the registry, the title alone makes it collectable. Who was alive back then that didn't hear about this book, and all who heard found it titillating to be sure. With the back cover skull, this was so "in", and they've since tried to do the same thing with Deadpool. The Punisher is usually serious, way too serious. Deadpool has a hard time being "taken seriously", so which do you pick? With John Bernthal, it's easy. Ryan Reynolds is perfectly cast and Bernthal is finding his stride. Take it to the bank! That classic punisher logo on the back cover is a nice touch as well. Many shirts over the years bearing that symbol, with some more sought after than others. I'll admit to owning a few myself!
 "DOOM!" 'Who opens the door to their doom?' "Basket full of puppies?!"
In short, too good a back cover picture to replace with something else, it looks good on its own!

"Second Printing" With love comes the Punisher, blasting away on his instrument of the lethal variety. Steve Dillon cover and a pretty font! Those are the days to recount the "kills" of the Marvel Universe. Enough of play time, as he settles back with his trusty iron, to take aim at making the registry and collection. Bought today at $38 from Awesome Comics the LCS that has been trusty when trading in my $1 books! Woo-Hoo 3/19/23! Another Patrick's day weekend, and in store for the traffic, comes this hard white cover full of the black and white skull to penetrate the darkness with its own light of careful execution. Time is now for those who can afford risks to pay up as prices are tending to dissipate from the normal highs. I've got my sights on a few, and the pleasantness to try and hunt for these in the wild. Nice that the LCS is ranging from the Punisher to other sought-after relics.
 The Punisher even in somewhat modern times was after the whole city, to clean it up and or put it in order!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen movie pass before released in theaters of the menacing guns of "Double Tap!" Known to some as Zombieland Deuce! Featuring well known and versed seasoned Zombie veterans.
