All this year I'll be storytiming Punisher comics. Most of them will be from the pre-Ennis era, but some will be from the Ennis era. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.
The last week days I've been storytiming Punisher Christmas comics. You can read those here:
Marvel Knights & MAX Punisher Christmas Specials: Marvel Holiday Special 1991-1992: Punisher Holiday Special #1-3: Today we're going to read something completely different. The Punisher goes to New Orleans and fights voodoo dudes who look like Papa Shango from the WWF.
This is what I consider to be one of the "hidden gems" of Punisher stories. Plus it JUST got a digital rip, so this shit looks GREAT!

To anyone wondering, Haitian voodoo doctor gangsters aren't that farfetched. A couple of prosecutors I met once told me about a family that tried to run away from a haitian crime syndicate. The two daughters were too afraid to ever wear shoes because the witch doctors would lace their shoes with puffer fish venom if they disobeyed.
Does this cover remind anyone else of old pre-Code horror comics covers?
Michael Williams
That is a REALLY funky looking inside cover.
Charles King
That has to be one of the most memorable title pages of any Punisher comic.
Owen James
>John Wagner
huh
Bentley Nguyen
That is a page I genuinely was not expecting to see.
Jack Cooper
lol that last panel
if this was published today everyone at marvel would be executed for hate crimes
Aiden Carter
Does anyone have any idea how to pronounce that name? Because I'm not convinced that this: is accurate.
Aaron Cook
ah, I finally know what they're going on about on the punisher bodycount podcast about a fucking chicken sacrafice
Dominic Barnes
It's actually called "the big easy" because musicians could find work there very easily back when the nickname came into usage.
Michael Torres
>won't kill the dog
The Punisher confirmed for ultimate hero.
Matthew Williams
That dog flying through the air is hilarious.
Cameron Long
>Death by chick gumbo -- Dumb way to go.
I can't stop laughing at this.
Tyler Campbell
this is a genuinely fucking scary villain
Jayden Fisher
That dude is the literal definition of a hero. Those are the kinds of characters I want to see more stories about, not these self-righteous assholes in costumes.
Ethan Allen
why'd he take the chicken?
Brayden Hughes
>thanks for sparing me that one
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Asher White
>those last two panels
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! LOL!
Logan Lopez
I would unironically read the fuck out of a comic about Jonas Jameson.
Joshua Williams
What, is that for fucking real?
Jordan Long
OH FUCK!
Is that the coldest thing The Punisher ever did?
Oliver Nelson
DAMN!
That scene is fucking CRAZY!
Ayden Edwards
The inside back cover looks wild as well.
Was there a back cover to this in the original version?
Landon Flores
Yes. It's not included in the digital version though.
