PUNISHER STORYTIME
All this year I'll be storytiming Punisher comics. Most of the focus will be on the pre-Ennis era, with the occasional Ennis era story and possibly some post-Ennis era material at some point. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.
Over the course of this year I've been able to go through the Mike Baron era of the character (basically the late 80s through approximately the end of 1991), covering pretty much all of his run (excluding an Annual or two). I also recently posted Chuck Dixon's first story on the character (the graphic novel "Kingdom Gone") and have posted his fill-in issues during the Baron run, including the issue he did right after the Baron run ended and immediately before the Abnett and Lanning run began.
What's that? You didn't know the famous DnA writing team even HAD a run on The Punisher? Well they did! In fact, they wrote more issues than famous Punisher scribes like Carl Potts or (the REAL definitive Punisher writer) Steven Grant. On top of a dozen issue long run proper on The Punisher, they also wrote a multi-issue arc on The Punisher War Zone, a couple more multi-issue arcs on the main series, a miniseries, an Annual, and... I can't remember what else for sure. In total there were close to 30 issues IIRC, making them one of the top 5 most prolific writers in The Punisher's entire 4 decade plus history.
Today we're going to read their very first Punisher story ever: Eurohit, which kicked off their initial run on the series. It features The Punisher allying himself with some kind of... odd acquaintances. The cast in general is a bit more colorful than your typical Punisher comic, but all in all it's a reasonably entertaining story, and much better than either of the other 2 previous extra-long Punisher tales up to this point (Jigsaw Puzle and The Final Days of The Punisher).
So grab a drink and/or some snacks, and strap in for some stylized covers and yuro-shenanigans and let's read this bitch.
