PUNISHER STORYTIME

All this year I'll be posting Punisher comics. Most of them will be from the pre-Ennis era, but some will be from the Ennis era as well. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.

Yesterday I finished up the era of Punisher comics that begin in the mid-80s and lasted into the mid-90s, with a story arc called "Countdown", which you can read here: >>97203675

I also posted a "graphic novel" called "Empty Quarter" yesterday as well, which you can also read over here: >>97202365

However, I never really completely finished the classic era of The Punisher. Yeah, I storytimed it through to the end, but there were so many one-shots and miniseries and cameos and team-ups and crossovers and just so much other shit that it was ridiculous.

So what I think I'm going to try to do for the rest of this month is post 1 storytime per DAY. At least up until we've covered everything up through before Countdown.

Today we'll be reading the very first Punisher Annual. Written by Mike Baron, this came out way back in the 80s, which I guess means that this was technically part of his original run. It also features a backup story by Roger Salick, plus some extras. The art in particular might be the best thing about the issue though. The main story was drawn by Mark Texeira, and the backup by the most classically styled but still underrated Mike Vosburg.
