Wednesday Cover: Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos

 

As you can probably tell from recent posts to this blog, I've been enjoying a number of Old School 80s-90s action flicks of late, a phase no doubt ignited by my anticipation of a certain all-star action epic due in theaters this summer. As one of the stars in that film is 80s icon, Chuck Norris, here's the cover to the first issue of Marvel/Star Comics' Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos miniseries, a four-color tie-in with the enjoyably goofy 1986 animated series of the same name.

While the interior art on most of these comics was by the legendary Steve Ditko, the covers were by other Marvel artists. In the case of the first issue (pictured above), the art was by the talented team of Mike Zeck and John Beatty (The Punisher).
