Description
Flashback: Going way back to 1986 and the black and white indie comic scene and Grips launched itself on an unsuspecting public and quickly became infamous for the amount of extreme gore and ultraviolence and the highly stylized work of Tim Vigil. My PG rated homage to the character

NOw that is a blast from the past... Silver wolf comics. Lasted about 3 issues--ish.

Actually Grips had a decent run, even though by the end the Issues were coming only every other month. The last issue of Grips was published about the same time Punisher War Zone hit the stands.

Yeah he was pretty much a mashup of all of them. Not a revolutionary design, but notable for the buckets of blood and viscera in the book. Vigil followed it up with Faust, and even more over the top mayhem.

He was published by Greater Mercury Comics, then Silverwolf, super lo-fi indie company which eventually morphed over time into Avatar Comics, still a publisher that pushed the envelope
