This cover is horrible, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar!

So my beef is not with this cover:

It's with this one:

While I love new and interesting covers on reprint titles like Marvel Tales and Marvel Super-Heroes, this one sucks. Should have stuck with the original. 

I looked up the artist for this cover, expecting Fred Hembeck (which would've made it okay), but it was Mike Zeck! C'mon, man! :sick:

Absurd covers but I love them.

Did someone drop a pot of paint on that cover or what? :eek:

At the time, reviews in our UK magazine, Comics International, described his artwork as 'incredible".

Definitely a style that hasn't aged well.

So, it looks like he's being shot at by high-calibre machine gun cannons, and his costume alone, not he himself, is being shredded by gunfire.

I wasn't aware that Moon Knight was so resilient.  Kryptonian level.

They got it right Ken. That art is not credible.

:grin:

For me, if I have to look at a cover for half an hour trying to work out what is going on, it's a fail.
