Creator credits for the Punisher (season 1)

Netflix has another of those Marvel programs up; this time, it's the Punisher's turn. Although my name has appeared in proximity to the character (as googling will bear out) I've never been particularly fond of the character. Even so, man, the Netflix version is almost unrecognizable. Short list of comic book material this time, fellas.

All the same, contact me if I forgot something and check my complete Marvel Cinematic Universe list here.
