First Ongoing Title. Punisher does what he does best in this series from the late eighties into the late 90's. It's everyone's favorite anti-hero, that has been made into other media: Statues, films, badges and iron-on patches, all for the benefit of Frank Castle! Bringing all kinds of "attention", some of it unwarranted. Getting in close with Frank may mean a thrill of action, but it is still a coin toss of how you'll come out of it all. These times in issues are tough with Castle, and the Punisher will abound!
They still come up with new ideas for the Punisher, and he's not dead yet, though he has wished it on his enemies many times. He has even delivered the message personally many times.
Many covers of what I like to call the "breeze", as it is the heat of battle or encouraging others to take heed. This is largely missed as some call on a Punisher to keep some mean streets! It isn't as easy to keep themselves, but vendetta's aside Frank has a steady head. It has, however, been hit and bludgeoned upon repeatedly and for a long time. All that may seem all well and good, or it could be unrest for someone "in a way" that hasn't turned back, and yet those constant small victories make the character. As a man, Frank has endured an unbearable amount of, "Frankly I don't give a...!" The fan base is humble when it comes to intent, but the Castle hasn't fallen! To pay rent in this space calls for mainly covers within the collection and some impulse purchases. Saving those raws to read of those extra Punisher issues from the bargain bins, too.
