Punisher Vol. 7 #1-11 (Ongoing)

It was in (Feb 1974) that the anti-hero first appeared, created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. Since then the character became a template for several of psychologically-troubled and misanthropic antiheroes that began appearing in mainstream comic books; the Punisher was driven by the death of his family to become a vigilante and is not above killing, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence and torture as means to fight crime. The ongoing series is a relaunch of the vol. 2 and started with a thematic link to Marvel's beginning-to-get-oppressive Dark Reign storyline. Issue #11, however, heralds the beginning of something new... and definitely over the top...
