This is a piece done for the R3 Jam, the subject being the classic Captain America villain, Arnim Zola.

I love this guy, and always have. Marvel’s penchant for putting faces where they don’t belong (stomachs, tanks, planets) and omitting faces where they do (Awesome Android) always baffled and delighted me, when I was too young to understand how much drug was at work in the Bullpen. Anyway, Zola was always pretty cool looking, holding a Kirby Whatsis in his hand or whatever, but the colors were a bit much. When I saw a more contemporary take, I had to do it. I gave it a little TRDL style, but not much deviation…
