The Bronze Age represents a special era in superhero storytelling. While fans might argue over when the era began, people generally agree this is when superhero comics became great. The writing became more complex, tackling more sensitive subjects in respectful ways. Meanwhile, the art only continued to improve, making for some memorable comics that haven’t been topped.More than anyone else, Marvel benefited from the growth comics experienced in the Bronze Age. The company published some of their darkest comics during this era, stories that stuck with readers for decades. Some of Marvel’s biggest heroes battled against addiction and loved ones and were forced to fight harder, more dangerous battles against their enemies.The Punisher doesn’t feel like any other character introduced during that era. Even in this first issue, much of what readers understand about Frank has already been established: a war veteran, Frank Castle’s already made a vow to carry out his own war, one where he wipes out criminal scum. In contrast to other heroes, Frank isn’t just willing to kill, killing is what he’s best at. Fans didn’t know it, but Marvel was a decade early to the kind of antihero that would become common in the ’80s and ’90s.
