From what I remember of the comic Frank feels REALLY bad about having to kill the gorilla. And not just because Wolverine attempts to gut him pretty soon afterwards…
“The Punisher” is a current look between Goth and Rock. It means “Emotional!”
I’d be alright with a six-issue mini that featured nothing but Frank and Black Panther walking around Africa and shanking the wildlife. Written by Matt Fraction, of course.
Oh wow–it’s like different parts of your brain decided to have a rumble! What next, Archie shanking Rom?
Based on the Punisher’s upper body… let’s call it musculature, he looks like he could bench press the gorilla anyway. Must be a young gorilla, not yet exposed to whatever weird ray makes comicbook gorillas gigantic and homicidal.
Also Frank looks like he has Lara Croft hair. French braid whatever it’s called.
Man, Frank. Those guys are totally endangered. Not cool.
I haven’t read the issue. Did Frank aim for the shoulder instead of the head or throat because they’re endangered?
At least he’s properly attired for the occasion.
Give Frank the benefit of the doubt.
I mean, that gorilla could have the transplanted brain of Adolph Hitler. Or something.
Its a Skrull posing as a Marvel Ape-Go Frank-Go!
I’m not sure ol’ “Gorilla Killa” Castle is concerned about whether they’re endangered or not. I mean face it, they were endangered the minute he arrived on the continent.
“Because Pretty Damn Often- Like, All The Time- you just need to see the Punisher stabbing a gorilla.”
While I usually hate this sort of thing, I really did feel compelled to go ahead and fix that for you. Feel free to do the same for me at Comics Should Be Good because, really, I could use a bus full of editors, and Cronin’s too busy hunting Urban Legends to help.
Also, if that were a Nazi Gorilla, I think we could encompass any pitch Mike Mignola ever had for a Punisher arc in one panel. So, that’s fun to think about.
You’d have to retcon away Hudlin’s entire run for Black Panther not to be such an insufferable, racist asshole that Frank would cap him on page 1.
I just love the caption box. It just makes the whole panel for me.

Come on, Brad. There’s only so many hours in the day.
lol *zing*
Please, Mr. Sims, will you tell us about the time the Punisher fought crime in space? That way I won’t buy Punisher G-Force on eBay just to read it myself.
Brodie in Mallrats: “You have my Punisher War Journal #6, my copy of “Fletch” and the remote control to my TV. Now, I know it’s going to be hard to give this stuff up because of it’s sentimental attachment…”
THIS!
Or…”What was the dyslexic gorilla thinking when he was stabbed by the Punisher?”
So.. this is what it sounds like when gorillas cry?
