Excellent action page! Congrats on the new addition!
Swooof! Shump! Chud! Fratch! Shrash! Wow, this page really does have excellent flow to the action. I love how both characters make use of their environs for makeshift weapons, and how Shang-Chi deliveres that deciding chopping blow to end that portion of the battle anyway. Mike Zeck is such a master. Gotta be jazzed by Gene Day's inks as well. A total gem, congratst
Such a fantastic action page, and what I love even more is that the entire battle takes place in a tree! How crazy!
Just a classic page. Congrats
Damn!!! Zeck could draw, but this page is insane. The action, the angles, the details! Just a fabulous pick up. Congrats.
KAH-THOOM! ;) That's lots of sweet, new onomatopoeia on that page. And what an amazing battle page! Battling in trees is so old school Kung fu movie. Love it! And that inking from Day is perfect over Zeck's clean style. He put the heavy inks behind and to the side of the characters, which really makes the action pop, imo. Very cool, Kahlil. Big congrats!
Yes, some nice onomatopoeia (BTW I'm impressed if you didn't have to look up how to spell that word) for sure! And the tree setting...definitely upped the classic, kind of fantastical, kung fu vibe of the page. A big draw for sure in my picking this up. I didn't notice those heavier background inks...nice catch! In a way, good that I didn't notice, right?! Gotta love those subtle touches that draw you to a piece but you don't know why! Thanks, J!
Most MOKF Zeck pages suffer from being early in his career and formative years AND from heavy inking but this one is a truly great example.
You know, I've kind of been on the lookout for a page for a bit, and there's been some availability, and some pages I thought were great but others I wasn't interested in. Your points may have something to do with the latter. Definitely hyped for this example, though, as you note - great example that that hits on all cylinders! Thanks, F!
You did right holding out for a better example. You can't have a page from a comic with Kung Fu in the title without a little Kung Fu in it!
Yes, LOL! I don't think I specifically thought of it that way but you nailed it. And a LOT of kung fu?! Even better :) Thanks for the add, John!
Nice!!!
Kicking A and taking names on your assault for Zeck pages - congrats! Good luck on the rest of this journey KG!
Legend tells us of a legendary warrior whose Kung Fu skills were the stuff of legend.
Kung Fu Panda! Great line from a great movie! Thanks, John. "Skadoosh" :)
Awesome page!
AWESOME page, my man! I'm certain this one falls squarely into the "SO much cooler in person" / "scans don't do it justice" camp, thanks to those outstanding Gene Day inks. Look at all those leaves (should the inker be credited as "Green Day" here?)...! Gorgeous page with the great flow keeps the eye traipsing through the branches (one could say it has great...."flowliage"?). This one kicks Ash! I have an urge to see 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' again.
Lovely page.
Zeck was clearly working with a lot of love during his run on MOKF.
Zeck's era on MoKF were some of my earliest comics ever read. Great stuff!
JAW DROPPING!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!
Judo Chop!!!!!
Prime example of Zeck at work in the MOKF title! Great action page and packed full of those crazy sound effects to go along with all that Kung Fu action! Congrats!
Stunning page!!!
Another OA piece that is filled with action, I absolutely love it!
