Episode 47: The Punisher
In this episode we are going to look into the origins of one of Marvel’s most iconic and controversial characters, Frank Castle, a.k.a, The Punisher. Now this is a character that some consider a hero and others consider a crazy person who kills lots of people while wearing a skull on his chest. I think of him as a little of both. I’m also super excited about the interview I got to do with Gerry Conway, the man who created The Punisher,  and several other characters throughout Marvel and DC comics.
