DescriptionThis is more than a typical Buscema "prelim", it's a partially inked Punisher-as-boxer study for a splash page in Punisher War Zone (#28 pg 4) which was also used for the "Barbarian with a a Gun" trade paperback cover. the pose in the final page was slightly altered but I love this piece as is. John Romita Jr shared a funny anecdote about himself, Buscema and the Punisher in 'Rough Stuff' magazine. JRJR based his version of the Punisher in part on John Buscema's Conan and when Buscema had to pencil the Punisher he in turn based his version on JRJR's art!Social/Sharing |

too bad the link no longer works, the whole interview was good, but this is what JRJR had to say about the punisher/buscema: "There is a good story about the Punisher I'd like to pass along. I had based my version of Frank Castle on a variety of people I knew but I distinctly remember thinking of John Buscema's Conan when drawing his face. During my run on Punisher, John Buscema himself was working on either a fill in or a separate issure of the Punisher, and told the editor he was working with that he was basing his visual of the punisher on my version! He said he liked it! What a compliment! Ironic, that he based it on mine when I was basing it on his visual of Conan! When told of this he cracked up."
