    Sometimes characters do run their course and vanish forever, but I'd be shocked if we've seen the last of the Punisher. We do happen to exist in a time when the mere depiction of something is often viewed as tacit approval for it - the Punisher's murderous vigilantism may in fact make various people at Marvel / Disney nervous in the current climate (I don't have any special insight into this, so I can't say you're wrong)... nevermind the fact that such a response is exactly the point of the character if you bother to examine Frank Castle beyond the surface layer. However, what we as fans have to always be cognizant of is that these characters are IPs first and characters second. The people responsible for these IPs will change every decade or so and entirely new directions can and will be taken based on current trends and societal norms... or, as I previously mentioned, simply because a writer needs to meet a deadline and wants to take a shortcut by leaning on continuity.

    And who could forget Frankencastle?

    It is quite difficult to destroy anything in comics, especially if there's any value in it. Continuity can always be revived at a later date. Some writer up against a deadline will lean into what came before as a quick way to add depth - that's a story almost as old as comics at this point.

    FYI I looked around for some of that art as well a number of years back... really interesting story. Never saw any of Tradd's pages, picked up a few pages from the first issue but that's it. Good luck.

    Hi, Listed this last week but wanted to try out a single book post before I move things to eBay. Thanks for reading! Rules No HOS / probation. Slabbed book sales are final. These books are unavailable elsewhere while this post is active. The first unedited claim referencing a given item has won that item unless it was previously placed on hold. Vague claims may lead to confusion, please be specific when making a claim. PMs are welcome, but claiming in thread is king. I won't sell via proxy - if you claim in thread, then yours is the only name and address that I will ship to or accept payment from. Payment will be by check, cash, money order, or PayPal - paying via PayPal means that the only name and address that I will ship to is that associated with the paying account. Payment must be received within 5 business days of your claim being acknowledged or I reserve the right to make the book available for sale once more. Shipping is via USPS to the CONUS. Books will ship once payment clears. Slabs will be insured for their purchase price, the cost of which will be split between the seller and buyer. The base shipping cost for a package (via USPS flat rate box) will be paid in full by the buyer. All of the above holds true unless some prior arrangement is reached via direct message prior to your claim in thread. $2999 GPA

    Hi, thanks for checking out my thread! I have some older books available here if you're interested: Rules No HOS / probation. All slabbed book sales are final.

Finally... more images are available upon request - my apologies for the lack of scans and the glare evident in these images.

    Hi - generally I try to avoid shipping to Canada, but if you're interested in something specific please PM me and we can talk about it. Thanks!
  23. SquareChaos
    That is all for tonight, PMs are open, and this thread will remain open for at least a few more days. I may or may not post more SA based on how this goes, but either way I'll post more books in this forum, and probably a few in copper / modern. Thanks for looking!

    Strange Tales #158 WP - 1st full Living Tribunal - $3250 Another I wouldn't mind keeping... very few have sold in this grade, and none in the last year. This is easily the most vibrant (bright red) cover copy of this I've ever seen in person and I looked at a few before finally getting this one.

    Fantastic Four #67 9.2 OW/W - Origin & 1st of Him (Warlock) in cameo - $3500 I won't be too sad if I have to hold on to this one.
