Well 3 out 4 of the recreations have sold… only the punisher 1 is left and that is by far the best… 

Hey Jason,

Can you clarify what you meant by this?  There are 5 covers, and each one of them have sold at least twice since they were first re-created.

Did 2 other covers recently sell? (along with the #2 at $18K by Burkey?)

So you did get his appeal…..

I guess.  But his Marvel work (what I saw of it) wasn't interesting to me.

The zeck punisher OA for the ARt of Mike zeck currently in the September HA looks a veritable bargain!

I used to feel the same but as time goes on, the cover for 2 and 3 are just as awesome!

I never got Zeck's appeal.  But I did like his Deathstroke covers.

Maybe cause of covers like these have something to do with his appeal?

  Well, if you mean his appeal... to me.  Yeah, kind of.  Those last 2 covers have the weird Zeck faces.  And I remember the whole Zeck / Phil Zimmelman thing was a big deal back in the day.  Also, I know it's supposedly an iconic cover but it's funny to see Wolvie and Cap sparring.  Noone has to worry about bidding against me for Zeck art.

I am a huge Zech fan. As a big Punisher fan, I grew up loving his covers. But I agree with you, some of the faces, like the Captain America images up there can look a little funky. Still love his art though.

I love his stuff too.   It was so dynamic at the time.    Holds up pretty well, but kinda mind blowing when I was 12.

For me he really brought the characters to life in a way most artists couldn't do (speaking to the covers here in particular).    As I say, I don't quite see it the same way I did now as back then, but I respect his talent and fondly appreciate his place in the evolution of comics.

Yup, and thats also how I feel about Rob Liefeld. Zeck was a little before my time. I grew up on Rob's art, and it also blew my mind in the early 90's and I still love his stuff till this day. I dont care what anyone thinks
