He would be a major contributor to the entire Marvel line throughout the 1970s including designing the look of The Punisher.
John Verpoorten was an American comic book artist and editorial worker best known as Marvel Comics' production manager during the latter part of the Silver Age of Comic Books and afterward, during a seminal period of Marvel's expansion from a small publishing concern to a multinational popular culture corporation.

He held this position for seven years, until his unexpected death in 1977.
