1st app of the Punisher (Frank Castle); 1st app of the Jackal COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)
Highest Graded


Spider-Man went swinging into the Bronze Age with the first appearance of the Punisher, whose brutal debut would lead to this book becoming on the first major key issues of the 1970s. There's even more historical significance with the issue offering the debut of the Jackal. The evil alter ego of biology professor Miles Warren would go on to become the main antagonist in the '90s Clone saga and the 2011 "Spider-Island" story line.

The Punisher, of course, would appear in multiple self-titled comic series and be featured in, three major action films. Frank Miller's also revived the characters original fan base when he brought the vigilante into his Daredevil title. More recently, the Punisher found renewed fame with a hit Netflix series. With a confirmed role in Disney+'s upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series, the Punisher is now wanted more than ever!




Amazing Spider-Man #129 is one of the most sought-after keys of the Bronze Age, right alongside Incredible Hulk #181. Heralding the first appearance of the Punisher as well as the Jackal, this comic would go on to greatly influence comics and popular culture by helping create the anti-hero trend of the 80s and 90s. This copy earned a 9.8 Universal Grade from CGC, with stunning white pages. This is as close to perfect as you will find, as this copy ties for the highest-graded around, with no existing 9.9s or 10.0s on the census. The yellow background and red lettering are incredibly sharp as are the iconic Gil Kane/John Romita Punisher and Spider-Man figures, which present flawless colors. With the Punisher appearing in multiple movies, shows, comics, cartoons, and video games, he has become a household name and an ambassador for Marvel Comics across the world, and this is a gorgeous copy of his first appearance. Another 9.8 ASM #129 recently sold for $38,400. Major keys like this are constantly in demand and only become scarcer over time.
