This came out during the 90s when the Punisher was big. As a joke, Marvel and Archie Comics talked about doing a crossover between the Punisher and Archie, but eventually it was taken seriously enough to actually make it a reality.






The Punisher is pursuing his latest quarry, who manages to elude him.






Veronica has an idea, to bring Melvin to the dance to get back at Archie for messing up an earlier date.


Meanwhile, the Punisher has made it to Riverdale...



Some strange men in suits arrive, claiming to be federal agents (but are in fact hitmen after "Red"), and whisk away Archie and Jughead.











Archie and Jughead escape, and Punisher discovers that the hitmen have found out "Red" is at the high school dance. When "Red" sees the Punisher at the dance, he kidnaps Veronica. Meanwhile, the hitmen once again mistake Archie for "Red" and attack.
