Shadow Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Zeck's art looks great on those pictures. I always felt he had more potential than his actual comic work displayed. Maybe he didn't like to be rushed or deadlines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Couple more. I remember how popular these were when they first came out. Wolverine fans were going crazy for these. This is still one of my favorite issues featuring the Punisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comiconxion Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You are correct... Mike Zeck isn't the fastest artist and he does his best work without the deadlines of a monthly comic. He's very much a perfectionist when he has the freedom to be that way. For instance, sometimes he spent up to a week doing some of the cover recreations he did over the last few years. That's becuase he wanted to redo them to be better than what he did on the originals. If you see one in person, you'll see the incredible amount of detail he put into them. Some of Mike's best work was done for pieces that went unpublished. For instance, he did a fantastic set of four Captain America portfolio plates circa 1982. One of them (the Cap & Red Skull) finally saw print when it appeared on the first page of the Mike Zeck sketchbook, published a couple years back. In my opinion, that piece topped almost all the Cap covers he drew. And Mike did some fantastic Cap covers! And there are three other plates that people haven't seen... one of Cap and the Avengers, one of Cap and Falcon, and one of Cap in a fighting stance. Ah, maybe one day they'll get published! In addition to the the set of six Punisher portfolio plates that were shared on this site, there was an additional set of six that was done for a second French portfolio. The Zeck sketchbook also features some great pieces including an unpublished portfolio plate, an unused wraparound cover that pre-dates the Punisher mini-series (allegedly done for a Baxter reprint book that was never published), the B&W version of the Big Nothing cover, and the B&W ad art for the Limited Series. The Sketchbook a must have for Punisher/Mike Zeck collectors. For those that want one, it can still be ordered off his website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 when the Punisher is done right (pretty much most of the time recently) he's a great character. Like Clint Eastwood movies only he doesnt get beaten and locked up before winning as often. He's also like Batman versus run of the mill criminals and crooks: three steps ahead of all the mooks and scares em to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
