ComingSoon has an exclusive preview of some Captain America portfolio images that are being featured in a new Marvel art book, The Marvel Art of Mike Zeck.
Clover Press and Marvel are collaborating on “The Marvel Art of…” books, which are a series of high-end, boutique art books that showcase legendary Marvel Comics artists. The tenth book in the series will highlight the art of Mike Zeck.
“Breaking out at Marvel in 1977 as the penciler for Shang-Chi, Master of Kung-Fu, Mike Zeck grew to fame illustrating the twelve-issue Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars in which he designed the new iconic black costume for Spider-Man. Zeck’s mile-long list of contributions to Marvel include Kraven’s Last Hunt, Punisher: Circle of Blood, Captain America, Spectacular Spider-Man, and more, though he is remembered the most for work on the first Punisher mini-series in 1986, which has influenced every artist who has since illustrated the character,” a press release reads.

Clover Press’ Hank Kanalz said in a statement, “I first met Mike at the Chicago Comicon in 1986 right after his Punisher was released, and he left such a positive impression on this very impressionable kid. I had the privilege of working with him on a couple of projects over the years, and I am thrilled that in retirement, he’s agreed to be a part of our prestigious The Marvel Art Of… line of art books.”
