Punisher written by conservatives? I'll have to check it out. I did a full read of Punisher and Punisher War Journal from the 80s/90s and man you can see the DEA propaganda fingerprints all over some of those stories, especially I want to say the first ~25 issues of The Punisher Vol 2. Its pretty interesting to read critically through a 'war on drugs' lens.

I even think there's one where Frank soliloquies that Oliver North was a hero.

Don't even get me started on the racist stereotypes left right and center. Not that Ennis' run was that much better, but at least he was self-aware.

e: Conservative Punisher is more a return to form is what I'm trying to say.

I read through all the early Punisher stuff in high school, and while I fully support you doing this, just beware that a lot of it is a slog of unmemorable or flat out bad stories. Like sure, every once in a while there's a highlight like Frank becoming black for two issues to team up with Luke Cage, but there's a ton of boring generic mobster stuff in between that stuff.

I read the complete 1980s Punisher run (+War Journal) a couple of years ago and this post is pretty accurate. The first 24-30 issues are good stuff, although sometimes it seems like the DEA may have been story consultants.

By which i mean the writing is some hilariously ham-fisted war on drugs propaganda.

Sorry to necro, but this is the first new information I've heard about the "Frank" comic: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/03/15/garth-ennis-new-punisher-comic-wont-feature-the-punisher/

Evidently it'll just be called "The Platoon."

Uggggh Goran Parlov again. Did Darrick Robertson gently caress his sister or something what the hell..

Yes let's all pretend those pictures are on the same level as this one.



All of Parlov's work looks like a 2 minute sketch. That's exactly the problem.
