i have acquired the killing joke and it says graphic novel on the back. the cover looks like the exampled picture. i want to know how much the comic is selling for.
Frank is a really complicated character, he could be anything, a person who thinks is doing what has to be done and no one else will, a serial killer who just happens to target criminals, or a broken man punishing himself for what happened to his family, there are many interpretations to the character and that is interesting, written in several styles ranging from black humor to complete seriousness, if you want to read the character you should start with the run from author Garth Ennis, the best punisher writer ever, from the mainstream universe to the MAX line he did it perfectly, however if you want start simple and see more about the current and more modern state of the character without a lot of the backstory, only the necessary, then I recommend you to pick up the most current one, Greg Rucka´s run (I assume you recognise that name, you must) where he shows the consequences of Frank´s actions from other people perspectives and how Frank can exist in a world with the likes of spiderman and the avengers, I think the first 6 issues were released in paperback not too long ago, its really great and a good beginning for people new with the punisher.
