Ok, in the interest of full disclosure let me say that I'm pushing 40, which probably makes me older than anyone on this board by a good 15-20 years. Anyway, I've been recovering from a couple of GSWs over the last month or so. The pain meds I'm on make it hard to do much beyond reading and watching tv, and in my drugged-up state, it's hard to concentrate on any 'meaty' literature.

Anyway, enough with the blog shit. Point is, I used to love comics back in the late 80's-early 90's when I was a kid. Frank Miller and Todd McFarlane were my faves, but the Punisher was always my favorite character since he first popped up in DD (with Bane from Savage Tales a close second). Loved EC horror comics as well.

Anyway, when looking for contemporary comics/graphic novels I might like, the name 'Garth Ennis' kept popping up as a gifted scribe who had a gritty, dark interpretation of the Punisher.

Anyway, started reading the shit today, and I came across pic related. So a monkey yanked off some mafioso's kid's dick and fed it to a buzzard while some fat henchman looks on in horror.

My question is this: Have I been trolled? Is this meant to be funny? Does this guy have better shit, and if so can you link it?

Also, is their any good horror comics reminiscent of EC?

Help me out, guys. I'm you in 20 years (assuming you have a knack for poor decisions and terrible taste in women).

Read his Mature Imprint (Max) Punisher Comics
I know this sounds like it would make them more edgy and stupid but Ennis is a fucking contrarian so he actually makes them more serious and tempered.
Personally I find this funny, especially in context of the run (and Dillon art makes everything funnier to me), but to each their own

Great. Now we get a little dyke drama sprinkled into the mix.

In all fairness, if the other broad knows copdyke is a fishbucket that wants to scissor, maybe she shouldn't walk around in her jammies with her tits bobbling out all over rhe place.

>I find this funny, especially in context of the run (and Dillon art makes everything funnier to me)

This is what I mean. So this is anomalous to the rest of his work? It just strikes me as odd that I heard from multiple sources how dark, gritty, realistic, violent etc. this guy was, and the first thing I read is this.

Are you saying this isn't indicative of most of his stuff? Can you link the works you recommended?

Also, I thought the art (Dillon?) was just limp as fuck...like political cartoonist-tier. Then again, I rememver loving Bill Sienkiewicz and defending him when everyone said he sucked. As you said, to each their own.

Zeck's still my favorite Punisher artist.

This? It's not Ennis, but is it any good?

Also, nobody has a suggestion for horror comics? I'm starting to think you kids might be ageists.

Any contemporary equivalents to this? Even something close would be cool...
>>
>>86793598
buddy, ennis is known for his edginess (dark humor), dialogue, friendships, and overall character work. sometimes his ratios are off and you get this.
Punisher war zone and punisher marvel knights are Ennis weakest punisher written books.

You want the good stuff:

Goddamn. Punisher after nuclear war? Takes inspiration from Poe? Worked with Niles and Rib Zombie? I like this guy already. Thanks, anon.

Same thing as here...>>86793800

Sounds outstanding. Can you fuckers please do a little spoonfeeding and supply some links?

Like I said, I'm older than dirt and I'm not all that adept at computers, but I am recovering from bullet holes suffered at the hands of some savages who would have ended their lives if I hadn't intervened.

Throw an old-timer a bone here. I'm out of the woods health-wise now; just looking to read/look at some cool shit through a haze of opiates and Knob Creek 120 while I try to get back to at least 80%.

Thanks in advance, guys. Just found one of my old faves, so going to read that and drift off. pic related

One more thing, though. Does anyone remember Savage Tales? Bane the bounty hunter with his little girl and motorcycle, the ww2 stories, the big-tittied machine-gun toting broads on the cover? Pretty much a precursor to Sin City.

I'll check the thread in the morning if it's still up. Slumber well anons.

Garth Ennis is a fucking hack, that's what it comes down too. That's all you need to know.
>>
Harrow County, Clean Room and Providence are all good horror comics going on at the moment.

I don't really get how you bitching about your age is any different to any other snowflake, but there you go. Ennis isn't a bad writer but he has way more of a sense of humour and levity than Frank Millar.
>>
>>86794794
Hack implies he wrote only a single work and has nothing else remarkable. I'm not saying all of his shit is the best or even good but he does have a few outstanding series.
>>
You might wanna check out some of the Brubaker noir stuff at Image too.

And like right now we got Moonshine, Triggerman and the Black Monday Murders coming out and I imagine you'd probably dig them
>>
>>86792850
>Is this meant to be funny?
It is funny. I'm sorry your sense of humor is shit.
>>
>>86793598
Agreed on Dillion.
People said Sienkiewicz sucked???
>>
>>86792850

Get a sense of humor, Grandpa.
>>
>>86792850
You found Ennis' humor runs of Punisher. You want his serious ones? Punish MAX. There ya go. Or try Kelly's deadpool. Pages are filled with jokes, but the overarching plot and major points are very much tragedy. Really harsh tragedy.
>>
>>86792850
You idiot, you're reading a sequel. Read Welcome Back, Frank first THEN this comic.
