The Classic Era (1986-1995) The first series was a five-part mini-series, published in late 1985 and early 1986. Though it received only limited promotion, it proved a hit. Originally planned as a four-issue mini-series, it was prolonged to five issues, although penceller Mike Zeck (whose work on the book was, by his own admission, rushed) was fired due to lateness. Resentful over the departure, writer Steven Grant denounced Mike Vosburg's pencils in flamboyant terms and resigned, leaving Jo Duffy to provide captions and dialogue. The success of the 1986 mini-series spawned an ongoing series, beginning in 1987. Also a hit, this series spawned a spin-off, Punisher War Journal, in 1988. Another spin-off, Punisher War Zone, began in 1992. The ongoing series Punisher 2099 began at the beginning of 1993 as part of Marvel's 2099 line. In 1995, all four series were cancelled.
