Punisher #95 - original art cover and 9.8 book

Collection: Best of both worlds: Original art cover and CGC 9.8 book

Bought the cover in 2016, and it only took me 4 years to find the book in 9.8, lol.

This intense and gruesome cover from the first on-going Punisher series features everyone's favorite vigilante, Frank Castle, the Punisher, drawn by another Frank - Frank Teran.

The Punisher first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #129, one of the most famous comic books of the Bronze Age. In the 80s, the character really took off after being used in Frank Miller's historic first run on Daredevil. and appearing in his first hit solo mini-series and by the 90s was the star of multiple on-going solo titles. The Punisher has appeared in three solo movies and as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the second season of Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix.

Frank Teran worked in comic books in the 90s, starting with Marvel's Punisher. He also worked for Dark Horse Comics on titles such as as Aliens and G.I. Joe and for DC on various Batman titles during the Batman: No Man's Land crossover.

The art has an approximate image area of 10" X 15". The book was published October 1 1994 (Release date August 1994).

Furthermore this cover gives me many thought associations - for example the art directly addresses the full consequence of the Punisher, namely a lot of "bad guys" ending up dead. It may make you wonder if the Punisher is right in killing persons (he does not seem too happy on the cover), or if Spidey is right in trying to stop such killings. I guess the Punisher is showing signs of remorse, regret and/or simply disgust on this cover...

With its giant skull symbol and the scenery this cover reminds me of Chris Kyle and the Navy’s SEAL Team 3 paintings of The Punisher’s skull symbol on its military gear (in Iraq), this was also shown in the movie "American Sniper" directed by Clint Eastwood. Picturing such a large number of dead bodies, the cover looks like a war zone.

The cover is associated with the content of the book, but it's a rather weak association and the cover may be viewed on its own merits (never judge a cover by its book! ;-) If there's any sound coming from this cover, it must be a deep roaring thunder!

Thus this cover works in many different ways, and I'm close to ecstatic to have this dark gem in my collection. I did try to buy it a year ago, but the seller had just sold it - I never expected to get a second chance!
