Mike Zeck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike Zeck in an American comic book illustrator. He was born in Greenville, Pennsylvania on September 6, 1949 to Michael and Kathryn Jean Zeck. His first memory of comics is from his 1953 recovery from a tonsillectomy in the hospital, his bed covered with comics.
He attended the Ringling School of Art, and began his comics career in 1974 doing illustration assignments for the text stories in Charlton Comics’ animated line of comics, which led to work on their horror titles. In 1977, Zeck started working for Marvel Comics by doing fill-in work on Master of Kung Fu, and has since worked on such titles as Aquaman, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Green Lantern, Captain America, G.I. Joe, Lobo, and Deathstroke, The Terminator .
He may be best known for his 1987 work on the classic “Kraven's Last Hunt” storyline, written by J.M. DeMatteis, in the Spider-Man books, and the Punisher miniseries of 1985/1986 (written by Steven Grant, and collected as Circle Of Blood), as well as the 12-issue event miniseries Secret Wars. For this series, he and fellow artist Rick Leonardi designed a new black-and-white costume temporarily worn by Spider-Man, which eventually led to the creation of the villain Venom.
