"The Punisher War Journal" is title of two comic book series, both published by Marvel Comics. Both series were spin-offs of the self-titled series starring the vigilante character known as the Punisher.

Publication history

The first volume of "The Punisher War Journal" ran 80 issues, cover-dated November 1988 to July 1995. Originally written and pencilled by Carl Potts, and inked by Jim Lee, who soon became series penciler, it changed creative team withn issue #25 (Dec. 1990) to writer Mike Baron and penciler-inker Mark Texeira. Chuck Dixon (credited as "Charles Dixon") took over as writer with #38 (Jan. 1992), continuing with it to the final issue except for #65-74 (April 1994 - Jan. 1995), written by Steven Grant. Others associated with the title include multi-issue pencilers Tod Smith, Ron Wagner, John Hebert, Hugh Haynes, Melvin Rubi, and penciler-inker Gary Kwapisz.

The series was relaunched the following decade, titled simply "Punisher War Journal", beginning with a new #1 (Jan. 2007). The initial creative team was writer Matt Fraction and artist Ariel Olivetti, with subsequent artists including Cory Walker, Scott Wegener and Howard Chaykin.
