"I have no qualms about accepting a useful idea merely because it wasn't my own."
―Thrawn

Here's the other half of Dark Force Rising. First part was here. You can probably tell that this time I have the book in hand.

When I uploaded these, I forgot to shrink them, and I am not going to delete them and reupload smaller versions. So the contents of this post are on my Livejournal.

From Detective 571, from the marvellously retro run of Mike W Barr and Alan Davis...



As with all good stories this has been a BEAR to trim down and keep the best moments. It has everything I look for in a story like this, a great Batman and Robin dynamic (This was one of the last issues to feature Jason Todd 1.0 (or it might be early Jason Todd 2.0 depending on which side of the cusp you look on this as being), nice simple sinister plot from the villain, and the rest you'll see for yourself as this continues...

First appearance of the Punisher

The Punisher's interactions with Spider-Man in his very first appearance...



What's interesting about this story is that, as others have pointed out, there's no indication whatsoever that the reader's meant to view the Punisher as an anti-hero instead of as another straight-up Marvel hero. There's certainly no indication that Spider-Man has a problem with his methods.
