All this year I'll be storytiming Punisher comics. Most of them will be from the pre-Ennis era, but there'll also be some Ennis era stuff. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.
Over the last few days I've been posting all The Punisher Annuals from back when Marvel used to do "events" in all their Annuals in the late-80s and early-90s.
Today it's "The System Bytes". Written by Peter David of all people! Plus there's a couple of backup stories and some cool pin-up art.
You can read the other Punisher chapters of the various "Annual Events" here:
"The Evolutionary War": "Atlantis Attacks": "Lifeform": "The Von Strucker Gambit": PUNISHER ANNUAL #5
And now a look at "The Punisher's Top Ten Villains!"

I like how the comic visualized the virus.
Levi Jackson
That is not a well drawn cover.
Jonathan Gray
The title page looks better than the cover lol.
Nicholas Rivera
>this entire page
LOL!
Jordan Lee
>In English doc.
Henry Lopez
>I could be making a fortune working for AT&T
AT&T are shady fucks. They're notorious for adding extra charges to people's phone bills out of thin air. And that's not even getting into their connections to even shadier groups. Might as well be working for the mob if he's gonna work for them.
Charles Watson
>or we're going to find out if blood is thicker than waters
Slick line. This story actually has some really nice dialog.
Charles Reed
>They really byte.

Sebastian Foster
This is a fantastic page.
Aaron Myers
>shoots the TV
LOL!
Cooper Hill
Do we ever see this guy ever again?
>Jigsaw >Made me go black.
Wyatt Cook
The art in this is really mediocre, but all the writing except for in the ice story (which is just average) is actually really well done! I was surprised by both the main story and the Microchip backup.
James Hill
Jigsaw only being #10 is so fucking weird.
David Rodriguez
>quietly retconing Jigsaw Puzzle's stupid ending
That arc had so much potential. Shame they ruined it with the supernatural bullshit.
Zachary Garcia
Who killed those 3 if it wasn't The Punisher himself that did it?
Daniel Thompson
That is a REALLY intense drawing. >Jae Lee Oh wow!
Jose Jenkins
Nice action shot.
Carson Hall
This is a unique looking page.
Ryder Taylor
Frank killed all of them besides Bruno Costa, who was assassinated by a hitwoman who was hired by his brother, Frank Costa (the hitwoman then turned on Costa).
Purgatory retconned things so that Frank himself killed the Costas, and going by the recent Marvel Legacy recap pages they're still going with that.
Aiden Phillips
what, did nobody hear that?
Aaron Davis
Another nice action shot.
Andrew Cooper
Thanks for the info.
Blake Morris
bumping for others
Luke Thompson
kek

I used to have a punisher 'summer heat special' or something. It was one of the best comics I'd ever read. It had this great story about this crazy guy who knew from nam and another gem about these two dopey terrorists who attacked 'whimseyland'.
I had a blast reading them, I wish I hadn't sold all my old comics for rent money but a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do.
You think you could dig that one out of the archives for old times sake?
Jayden Bell
If you ask me, 80s/90s punisher was just lazy. He should have hired a bunch of ex-pats and went down to south america if he hated drugs so much.
