Shang-Chi, the master of kung fu, is one of Marvel’s greatest martial arts characters, and one who was born during the company’s 1970s-era efforts to exploit the martial arts movie craze (although I admit I’m a bigger fan of Shang-Chi frenemy Shen Kuei, “the Cat”). This series is definitely a reflection of that time, and it’s Doug Moench’s magnum opus (although, sadly, this particular issue doesn’t feature Paul Gulacy, whose work meshed excellently with Moench, although the artist here, Mike Zeck, also does a solid job with the kung fu/espionage style the book goes for).
