BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of 9 Vintage Marvel Punisher Comic Books Including Premiere and Key Issues
This lot features a collection of nine vintage Marvel comic books focused on the character The Punisher, dating from 1986 to 1992. The assortment includes two issues from the character’s first solo limited series: number 4 (April 1986) and number 5 (May 1986), both with cover art by Mike Zeck. Issue number 4 contains the printing error on the cover describing it as a four-issue limited series, and both issues feature the Marvel 25th Anniversary logo. Also included is the premiere issue of the first ongoing series, The Punisher number 1 (July 1987), with cover art by Klaus Janson. The lot contains two issues of The Punisher War Journal: number 2 featuring a guest appearance by Daredevil and number 7 featuring Wolverine, both showcasing cover art by Jim Lee. Additional items include the premiere issue of the technical guide series, The Punisher Armory number 1 (1990), and the 1991 prestige format one-shot graphic novel Hearts of Darkness featuring Ghost Rider, Wolverine, and The Punisher with art by John Romita Jr. Rounding out the collection are the first two issues of the 1992 series The Punisher War Zone, with art by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson. All comics are raw and housed in protective bags with backing boards.
