Here’s a little known fact for you. Did you know that the name “Punisher” was originally given to this robot character that first appeared in The Fantastic Four #49, a classic 1966 Marvel comic?
This is the original Punisher before there was ever such a character as The Punisher (aka Frank Castle). It is a loyal servant of Galactus that faithfully carries out his evil plans to destroy all of his enemies and conquer the galaxy. All brawn, yet no brains, this robot punisher is very destructive robot who never cares about Frank Castle’s harp along with its music. In fact, it would’ve reduce the poor harp to a pile of wood, metal, and strings if it not for Frank who used his laser powered bazooka to blast that bucket of bolts into a pile of scrap metal. Then he takes the scraps and melt them down into extra ammo for his firearms and levers for his gun harp.
Sherry Konkus lives in Owosso, MI. She is the proud owner of the Camac Athena EX Concert Grand Harp named “Grover” and Camac Mademoiselle named “Ernie.” She’s also the proud author of The Punisher Harp Zone. Sherry is the one who came up with the idea of portraying The Punisher from Marvel Comics as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family who was killed by the mob years ago.
