   Is Punisher: Barbarian With A Gun as awesome as that sounds? Because it sound super-awesome.
   Is it What If The Punisher Was in Conan Times But With Lots Of Ordnance? Because that would be awesome.
   I try not to buy Chuck Dixon comics if I can help it but John Buscema drawing Frank Castle going Full Metal Jacket on some wizard and barbarian asses might swing that one.
   Otherwise I could look it up, couldn't I?

   So I looked it up.
   
   As usual it has a totally Marvel cover in the style I dub here and now as being "Intern With Photoshop". Do Marvel actually employ graphic designers? If they do I'm amazed? Dismayed? Non-plussed? Something anyway.
   
   Anyway according to the blurb:
   Just another hit on a drugs baron's gaudy mansion goes seriouly FUBAR as Frank Castle accidentally napalms a magic rug and is timecast back to the Hyperborean Age. A man out of time and a man almost out of bullets Frank Castle must use the very environment itself against those who would naysay his astonishingly violent and unrealistically productive attempts to find a way home. Guest Starring: Terry The Flatulent Elf.
   
   Collecting Punisher Comics Which Exist Only In Lamont's Head #235-240.

   Actually the blurb says:
   
   The island of Puerto Dulce's name means "Sweet Port," but there's nothing sweet about getting skewered on sugar cane! The Punisher's been enslaved in a Caribbean jungle - and escape means going through prisoners, revolutionaries, and alligators! Will he catch his drug-dealing quarry before their shared enemies beat him to it? Guest-starring Ice Phillips from Marvel's controversial series The 'Nam! Collecting The Punisher: War Zone #26-30.
   
   Which sounds okay. I mean let's face it Chuck Dixon is pretty much Mr. Macho Action Comics and John Buscema is, well, he's John "The Don" Buscema.
   
   Ice Phillips? Any Ice Phillips fans in the house? No, I haven't a clue who Ice Phillips is. Guest starring in a Punisher comic and having no fan base would suggest that that man has the life expectancy of a house fly. Poor Ice Phillips.
   
   Now I have to buy it to see if Ice makes it out alive!
   
   Crikey, I'm chatty to no real purpose today. Perhaps crack was a bad choice.

   I am serious about buying it as well. In case any retailers missed that bit.

   It is flippin awesome. I don't know what your problem is with Chuck Dixon, actually, I probably do, but that aside, he does write good comics about hard men doing tough stuff... and Buscema is on his usual fine form here.
