Description
Punisher #1 launches a new era for Marvel's Punisher, written by David Pepose with interior artwork by Dave Wachter. Although the CGC label identifies the publication as 1/24, Marvel lists the issue's original on-sale date as November 8, 2023. This collectible edition features the Skottie Young Variant Cover, with Young providing both the cover art and colors.
Rather than Frank Castle, this series introduces Joe Garrison, a new vigilante taking up the Punisher mantle after Castle's disappearance. Skottie Young gives the new Punisher his signature stylized treatment, depicting the character in tactical gear with the skull emblem against a dramatic black background.
This individual copy has been professionally graded CGC 9.8 with White Pages and certified under the CGC Signature Series. The CGC label confirms it was signed by Skottie Young, with Young's witnessed signature appearing prominently near the top of the character artwork.
The combination of a #1 issue, Skottie Young variant, new Punisher Joe Garrison, CGC 9.8 grade, and authenticated Skottie Young signature makes this an appealing modern Marvel collectible. Marvel confirms David Pepose, Dave Wachter, and Skottie Young as the writer, interior artist, and variant cover artist respectively.
