Mike Zeck: Spider-Man and Punisher Marvel Tales covers

Dipping back into the well of Marvel Tales covers, there was a series of them in 1988 featuring reprints of Punisher and Spider-Man team-ups.  Mike Zeck, the Punisher's main man, drew some of the fantastic covers.

Marvel Tales 209 1987 cover by Mick Zeck Spider-Man Punisher

Marvel Tales #209 features Frank Castle front and center with Spider-Man in the crosshairs.  Despite the fact that he is holding pistols instead of a rifle! 

Marvel Tales 211 1988 cover by Mick Zeck Spider-Man Punisher

Marvel Tales #211.  The Punisher spews bullets out of twin Uzis as he and Spidey crash through a window.  Forget about stun bullets!

Marvel Tales 216 1988 cover by Mick Zeck Spider-Man Punisher

Marvel Tales #216.  Off to save Jonah from Hitman.  Nice angle on this cover.

Marvel Tales 219 1988 cover by Mick Zeck Spider-Man Punisher

Marvel Tales #219.  There is a Gil Kane feeling with many of Spidey's poses by Zeck, don't you think?

Marvel Tales 218 1988 cover by Mick Zeck Spider-Man Punisher

Marvel Tales #218.  Brings back the tried and true formula of the hero having his identity revealed, and it works great on this cover!  Nuff Said.

  1. Mike Zeck owned the Punisher for awhile. Really liked the Punisher mini. Too bad it was the springboard for oversaturation.
