The Punisher
The Punisher’sco - creator Gerry Conway is hoping to reclaim Frank Castle ’s iconic skull logo from police and make it a positive symbolic representation of justice rather than being associated with police oppression . Since the Punisher ’s logotype has bizarrely been co - choose by sealed police military officer , Conway wants to interchange the perceptual experience around the symbolic representation and use it tohelp the Black Lives Matter movement .
The fact police ship’s officer have co - opted the Punisher ’s logo , in particular , has always been an odd choice . Some cops have used emblems and decals of the logo to show support ofBlue life Matter . Choosing the logotype of a moth-eaten - full-blood killer who takes the law into his own hands has always been eccentric as the Punisher represent everything police officer ’s should n’t be . Whether it ’s misplaced machismo and/or a clear want of sympathy of the character ’s motivation and account , some law officers have continued to wear the skull logo as protests go on around the United States and reality . Disney has beenurged by funny creators to action policewho use the logo , while Marvel recently say they were takingunauthorized use of the Punisher ’s logotype " severely . “Even in the comics , Castle has tell fuzz to stop using the logo .

I ’m reckon for young comic al-Qur’an artists of colour who ’d like to take part in a humble fundraising labor for # BLM to reclaim the Punisher skull as a symbol of justness rather than wide-open police force oppression . Respond and follow so we can DM .
Conway admitted he ’s not certain if the Punisher logo can ever be used for justness , but stressed it utterly should n’t be used as a symbolic representation of oppression .
To be clean , this footling project is open to anyone who wants to contribute their time and effort . It ’s not a paying fizgig , it ’s intended to conjure up funds to support BLM . I hope to habituate multiple artists with a miscellany of styles and artistic approach . As to the debate over whether the Punisher symbol can ever be a symbolization for justice — I agree that ’s an open question . What it must * not * be is a symbol of oppression . I need to deny police force the use of the symbolisation by claim it for BLM . Call it caustic remark . I hope the results will speak for themselves .
It ’s great to see Conway effort to reclaim the logo into something positive .
