DescriptionFrom the inaugural OAX auction. I knew I was going to own this as soon as it was posted. I was not my best self when the piece was finally on the block. Sorry to my fellow attendees ;)The manga influence is what won me over. People have referred to it as "Pompadour Punisher". I'm here for it. Amazing use of screentones on this. Nick applied his distinctive style and technique in spades. When I talked to him about it on Sunday he used the magic words "I am a Mike Zeck fan". Me too, Nick. Me too. Social/Sharing |

Sweet!!!! It's not just his actions that are punishment but yours in scoring this beauty before the rest. Well done!

"I still talk to God sometimes. I ask him whether what I'm doing is right or wrong. I'm still waiting for an answer. Until I get one, I'll be out there, waiting and watching. Until I get one, the guilty will be punished."

Nick Barrucci and Jimmy Palmiotti auctioning a piece by Nick Dragotta of the Punisher Francis "Frank" Castiglione with a big perm while Pizza was being served? This is an offer you can't refuse!

Oh yeah! Pompadour Punisher! He's like 1 part Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry) and 1 part Dragon Ball Z incorporated into a jacked, juiced up, Zeck inspired Punisher. All parts = badass. Congrats on getting this one bud!

Pretty sure he crawled right out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Don't think standing with the auction paddle at the ready cost you anything and only brought you more admiration. You're 100% right about this piece!

Hey Frank, "You better shape up, cause I need a man and my heart is set on you!" (in my not so best ONJ). Congrats - I knew you'd make a winning run at this. Enjoyed the live action on this piece.

One of my all-time favorite commissions from Nick was a Bullseye with a stark black background. Simple, but perfectly executed. This has supplanted that. Congrats, Chris!

Phenomenal Punisher illustration! I love Nick Dragotta's work and this is a superb example. Funny that people call it the "Pompadour Punisher," but I get it. To me, he just looks strong and determined. That assault rifle in his hands is a beautiful piece of work. I totally see the influence of Mike Zeck in this drawing. I love the use of screen tones here, they add a touch of depth and solidness to the art. Great OAX pick-up, congrats!

I was there in the room...you would not be deterred! The gun, the super muscled physique, zipatone...just a uniquely badass Frank. Oh yeah, the hair, too :) Big congrats, my friend!
