THE MARVEL ART OF MIKE ZECK
The Tenth in the Artbook Series Will Feature Action-Packed Art
From Zeck’s Iconic Comic Runs In
Secret Wars, Punisher, Captain America, and More!
(May 19th, 2026) Clover Press and Marvel are collaborating for The Marvel Art Of… books, a series of high-end, boutique artbooks that showcase legendary Marvel Comics artists, featuring iconic images alongside rare and never-before-seen artwork. The tenth book in the stunning series will be THE MARVEL ART OF MIKE ZECK, a high-end coffee table book featuring a portfolio, prints, and more that celebrate the career of the well-loved artist. 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. Head to Kickstarter to support the campaign.

“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,” said Clover Press Publisher Hank Kanalz. “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.
