An ongoing series, also titled "The Punisher", premiered the next year. Initially by writer Mike Baron and artist Klaus Janson, it eventually ran 104 issues (July 1987 – July 1995) and spun off two additional ongoing series—"The Punisher War Journal" (80 issues, November 1988 – July 1995) and "The Punisher War Zone" (41 issues, March 1992 – July 1995), as well as the black-and-white comics magazine "The Punisher Magazine" (16 issues, November 1989 – September 1990) and "The Punisher Armory" (10 issues, no cover dates, starting 1990), a fictional diary detailing "His thoughts! His feelings! His weapons!" (as stated on the cover of issue #1). The Punisher also appeared in numerous one-shots and miniseries, and made frequent guest appearances in other Marvel comics, ranging from superhero series to the Vietnam War-era comic "The 'Nam".
