The Punisher #20

In "Bad Tip," Stan Lee returns to Marvel with a sharp, self-aware commentary that blends pop culture satire and industry gossip, from Marvel characters in TV ads to a nod to Bob Hall’s stage production of the Henry V play. With a wink to the era’s headlines—including the end of New World Entertainment and the start of Ron Perelman’s Marvel era—this issue captures a moment of transition, wrapped in Lee’s signature blend of humor and candid reflection.
