List of Punisher titles
Appearance
The Punisher has appeared in numerous comic book series since his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #129 (February 1974), including a number of eponymous titles starting in the mid-1980s.
Ongoing series
- The Punisher was a five-issue comic book limited series. Published between January and May 1986, the series was written by Steven Grant, with artwork by Mike Zeck and Mike Vosburg. This was intended to be 4 issues with a double sized last issue, leading to some marvel editors mistakenly insisting that there were only 4 issues.
- The Punisher vol. 2 was the first ongoing series featuring the character. It began in July 1987 and ran for 104 issues with 7 annuals (1988–1994), ending in 1995.
- The Punisher War Journal was a spin-off comic book series that began in November 1988 and ran for 80 issues, including 2 annuals (March 1992 – July 1995). The first volume was noted for including early artwork by Jim Lee.
- The Punisher War Zone was the third spin-off series for the character. The series ran from 1992–1995, and included 2 annuals (1993–1994).
- Punisher vol. 3 was published in November 1995 under the Marvel Edge imprint. The series ran for 18 issues and ended in April 1997. All issues were written by John Ostrander. Because the title was missing the word "The", marvel numbered it v1 in the indica. All volumes after this had the "The" in the title but mistakenly continued the volume numbering of this in the indica until volume 8 (which was the first new Punisher series after marvel stopped using volume numbers altogether).
- Punisher vol. 4 was a 4 issue limited series in 1999 which featured the Punisher back from the dead as an angel. This is the most fan-hated Punisher series of all time.
- The Punisher vol. 5 was a twelve-issue limited series published under the Marvel Knights imprint, running from April 2000 through March 2001. The series was written by Garth Ennis, with artwork by Steve Dillon.

- The Punisher vol. 7 was an ongoing series created by Garth Ennis, published under the MAX imprint. The series ran for 75 issues between March 2004 and October 2009.

One annual (2007) was published for the series.
- Punisher War Journal vol. 2 was an ongoing series written by Matt Fraction which ran from January 2007 until January 2009. The series published 26 issues, with one annual (2008).
