Vohland encouraged Grant to pitch story ideas to Marvel, and arranged an interview with then-editor-in-chief <a href="/wiki/Marv_Wolfman" title="Marv Wolfman">Marv Wolfman</a>, with whom Grant would become good friends. Grant sat at Vohland's typewriter for a day and wrote three ideas: One involved the <a href="/wiki/Black_Knight_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Knight (comics)">Black Knight</a> and one was the Punisher, since those were characters he liked that as far as Grant knew, no other Marvel writer was working with at the time. Unbeknownst to Grant, the Punisher, as it turned out, was the lead in a black-and-white magazine being written by <a href="/wiki/Archie_Goodwin_(comics)" title="Archie Goodwin (comics)">Archie Goodwin</a>, making the character unavailable for Grant's use. A couple of years later Grant began writing for Marvel after another friend, <a href="/wiki/Roger_Stern" title="Roger Stern">Roger Stern</a>, became a Marvel editor there and asked Grant to write something for him. In 1979, Marvel began considering publishing miniseries, which Grant had been lobbying for some time. Grant began pushing for a <i>Punisher</i> miniseries, but this was met with disinterest from editorial, as the character was not thought of as one that readers would care about. The following year, Grant collaborated on <i><a href="/wiki/Marvel_Team-Up" title="Marvel Team-Up">Marvel Team-Up</a></i> #94 with artist <a href="/wiki/Mike_Zeck" title="Mike Zeck">Mike Zeck</a>. In 1984, Zeck illustrated Marvel's first <i><a href="/wiki/Secret_Wars" title="Secret Wars">Secret Wars</a></i> miniseries, which raised his profile in the Marvel offices, where editors were thinking in terms of talent "stables" that worked exclusively for each editor. A new editor, <a href="/wiki/Carl_Potts" title="Carl Potts">Carl Potts</a>, was looking for projects, so Grant and Zeck pitched a <i>Punisher</i> miniseries to him, and Potts accepted it, over much objection from Marvel management, who told him that he bore full responsibility for it.<sup id="cite_ref-CBR3.6.15_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CBR3.6.15-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The miniseries premiered with a January 1986 cover date.

This new series doesn't do anything dramatically different with the franchise (not yet, at least), but it does feature a hands-off approach to the lead character and introduce some intriguing new villains to the mix. The series also proves that Steve Dillon isn't simply content to rest on his laurels after so many Punisher projects.
