In "The Death of Ward," a surreal twist on the Punisher's usual vigilante path sees the iconic antihero driven to extreme measures after a string of cringe-worthy jokes from a man named Ward. Written by Ward Batty, this 1986 story takes a sharp, darkly comedic turn as the Punisher’s wrath targets not a criminal, but a man whose humor proves too much to bear—leading to a shocking climax at the Krause Publications building.

In a single, absurd page from *Comics Buyer's Guide* #648, the Punisher takes a very personal vendetta against Ward—fed up with his relentless bad puns and jokes—leading to a hilariously over-the-top explosion at the Krause Publications building. Written and drawn entirely by Charlie Williams, this short, satirical take on the character’s usual grim tone is a rare, deadpan comedy moment in the grimdark universe.
