The Punisher War ZoneorPunisher War Zone is a comic book spin-off title featuring the Punisher, a fictional character published by Marvel Comics. The 2008 Marvel film, Punisher: War Zone was loosely based on the series.
The first installment of the series ran for 41 issues[1] and two 64-page annuals. Multiple writers contributed to this series during its three-year run from 1992 to 1995.[2] The series served mainly as a vehicle for longtime Marvel artist John Romita Jr., who had returned to Marvel after a lengthy hiatus from drawing a monthly title. In 2009, Marvel published a 6-issue limited series under the same title. The storyline was called "The Resurrection of Ma Gnucci".
The first series was the third different Punisher title published and the second spin-off based on the character.
This series was written by long-time Punisher writer Garth Ennis and drawn by long-time Punisher artist Steve Dillon. The series is a follow-up to Ennis's other Marvel Knights Punisher series.
This series was written by Greg Rucka and is a follow-up of Rucka's previous Punisher series from 2011. It was written to complete the story which Rucka did not get to do in the main title due to its cancellation.
