About the item:
A spectacular CGC Signature Series 9.6 copy of The Punisher #10 (Marvel, 1988), featuring one of the most memorable and iconic Punisher covers of the 1980s! This issue comes signed by Mike Baron (writer), Tom DeFalco (Editor-in-Chief), and Carl Potts (editor)—three key figures from Marvel's creative and editorial team during the Punisher's explosive rise to prominence.
The issue features a memorable confrontation between the Punisher and Daredevil, with the two street-level heroes battling while pursuing the same dangerous criminal. The issue is particularly desirable to collectors for its classic Whilce Portacio/Scott Williams cover and its place in Baron's celebrated early Punisher run.
Mike Baron is an award-winning comic-book writer best known for co-creating Nexus with Steve Rude and The Badger, as well as writing major runs on The Flash, Deadman, and The Punisher. Baron launched Marvel's first ongoing Punisher series in 1987 and remained with the title for more than five years, writing over sixty issues and helping establish the character's defining crime-oriented style.
Carl Potts is a veteran Marvel editor, writer, and artist who played an important role in shaping Marvel's comics during the 1980s and beyond. As an editor, Potts was instrumental in the development of The Punisher, and it was he who recruited Mike Baron to write the character after being impressed by Baron's work on The Badger. Potts also created Alien Legion for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint.
Tom DeFalco is one of Marvel Comics' most important writers and editors of the 1980s and '90s. He became Marvel's tenth Editor-in-Chief in 1987 and held the position until 1994. As a writer, he is known for acclaimed work on Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Girl, and he co-created the New Warriors with Ron Frenz.
A fantastic opportunity to own a high-grade, triple-signed Punisher classic connecting the writer, editor, and Editor-in-Chief responsible for one of the character's defining eras—along with an iconic cover and a guest appearance by Daredevil!
