Mike Zeck - Captain American Annual #8 Cover Vs. Iron Fist (2001)

awesome! really nice piece duke, 

While I feel similarly about re-creations there's just about no exception I wouldn't make for a Mike Zeck piece. Spectacular! 

Sweet recreation and subbing Iron Fist for Wolvie makes it more of a reimagination! 

you have been to the church of Zeck with all that confessing. Congrats my friend. A beautiful piece and lovely addition.

Incredible piece!  

Level 10 jealous

im with you on the line for line recreations. that being said i love this with iron fist. its spectscular!

Did you run around the playground saying "light it up?" Teachers would come running thinking you were smoking only to find you all deep in thought shaking your fist. They would walk away shaking their head, "it's the Dan kid again."

Zeck is amazing and I hope Fist wins here. Or at least dents that shield.

(Lotsa Catholic guilt over this one it seems ;)

Congrats! I remember this piece very well. 

Iconic! I avoid recreations too but definitely make an exception for Zeck!

That is awesome! Look at those background textures

Sweet piece.  This image transports me back to 1975 and the cover to Iron Fist #12.  So really, your piece is that cover from a different angle.

This one is GREAT!

I had a couple great ideas for 'reimaginings' when Zeck was doing these, but I was new to collecting an I just assumed the opportunity would always be there.... sigh.

If you are going to get a recreation, then this is teh one to get! Congrats!

This is a crossover homage/recreation/what if that works oh so well. Zeck homerun! Congrats on adding this to your amazing collection!

Zeck's limitations for his recreations made them infinitely more collectible.  Once they are done, they are not to be recreated in the same way ever again.

Sweet Zeck reinterpretation / homage to one of his most iconic cover imaeges. The differences are obvious once you look at it, but even before doing so I notified you titled it "Captain American" instead of "Captain America" so whether that was a typo or a conscious decision (I will chose to think it was intentional) there was an immediate clue that there's something a bit different about this compared to the original. Congrats on the great Zeck! 

Looks great! ~Congratulations!

Love this - and I agree on the cover recreation thing. But cover reimaginigs, especially when drawn by the artist who was responsible for the original cover in the first place? Way cool. 

Gorgeous piece! I love recreations and homages to Captain America Annual 8! The fact you were able to pick one up by Zeck himself, with Cap in the image (so what if Wolverine is not there), and having Iron Fist in there is just awesome! Huge congrats and you know where to find me if you ever decide to part with it!

Great. Thanks. You put the big photo up so all on the site can apppreciate Mike Zeck magnificence.

Absolutely amazing, the original felt like Zeck packed his whole career to that point into one image, so it’s no wonder how many have done homages, and then his own variations on a theme pack just as much power, congrats!

I did "suffer", but it was worth the wait!

Congratulations, this is wonderful! This reimagining of a classic cover is executed perfectly.

This is GORGEOUS!

The best part of this reinterpretation has always been the explosive energy lines!

What a clash of Titans! Amazing one for an IF fan!!!

No collector brings joy to the world like Malvin.

So basically, Cap was fighting Wolverine (which Mike Zeck drew as the cover we all know) and then Iron Fist came up and said "May I cut in?" And Wolverine said "Sure, bub, this place is deaaad anyway" (Swingers) -- so Iron Fist and Cap started fighting, which Mike also drew, and you grabbed that drawing for your amazing collection?  You lucky guy!  It looks incredible!!  So crisp and clean.  Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous Captain Amerca piece by Mike Zeck! What a clever switch in this homage to substitute Iron Fist for Wolverine! I think the piece stands on its own as a stunning Mike Zeck illustration! Congrats on a cool pick-up!

This is a GREAT recreation from an amazing artist with 2 great heroes and  a throwback to Iron Fist#12. Iron Fist is one of my all time favorite Marvel characters as well!
