Unfortunately Gerry couldn’t work in the format that he’s proposing because he overwrites everything and insists and having long narratives. The reason that comics are having problems is the same reason the last Star Wars trilogy didn’t do well and is failing in merchandising, it’s because they’re trying to appeal to a primarily female and woke audience rather than the core audience that will always be lifelong fans, boys who later become men. Comics are modern mythology and the stories are best told around heroic values which are primarily masculine with a few exceptions like Wonder Woman. Comics also used to reflect strong family values as in the Fantastic Four but these were pulled apart by woke writers.

Also, Conway didn’t “create” the Punisher, he stole it from Don Pendleton’s Executioner series. Mack Bolan is a better developed character.

I was talking with a friend about Superman. Appears that the Superman story strongly parallels Moses in the Bible.
