Step into the gritty world of Frank Castle with this rare gem: The Punisher #1 from the 1986 limited series by Marvel Comics! This is the iconic first issue that launched the Punisher into his own solo spotlight, a double-sized masterpiece with a cover price of just $1.25 back in the day. Featuring the unforgettable 'Circle of Blood' storyline by Steven Grant, with stunning art by Mike Zeck and John Beatty, this issue introduces the Punisher’s relentless war on crime in a way that redefined the anti-hero for a generation. The cover, a painted classic by Zeck and Phil Zemelman, showcases Frank Castle in his raw, uncompromising glory—behind bars, yet unbreakable.
Why is this a must-have? Beyond its historical significance as the Punisher’s first solo series, this issue’s value is skyrocketing for collectors. In top condition (Near Mint, 9.4+), direct editions can fetch $100-$150, while the ultra-rare $1.50 Canadian Price Variant (CPV) newsstand copies—identifiable by the barcode and higher cover price—command prices upwards of $375-$500 in CGC 9.4 or higher, according to recent market trends.
This isn’t just a comic—it’s a piece of Marvel history. The Punisher’s enduring popularity, fueled by Netflix’s hit series and his timeless appeal as a no-nonsense vigilante, ensures this book’s value will only climb. Whether you’re a fan of the character or an investor eyeing the next big score, Punisher #1 (1986) is a rare opportunity to own the origin of an icon. Act fast—this one won’t stay locked up for long!
