You want artistic badassery, you want Mike Zeck. The artist — born Sept. 6, 1949 — has produced some of the most muscular, powerful covers of the last 40 years.
For this 13 COVERS salute, we’re highlighting some of his most iconic Marvel work — featuring the Punisher, Cap, Shang-Chi, Spidey and, oh yes, Secret Wars.
Dig it.
