Giant-Size Master of Kung Fu #1

Marvel went all-out for this 1974 oversized special, packing 68 pages with five all-new Shang-Chi sagas — and the cover by Ron Wilson and Mike Esposito makes the promise feel entirely earned. Shang-Chi bursts toward the reader with a devastating punch that sends chunks of stone flying in every direction, his red and gold outfit and red headband unmistakable against the explosive impact, while a circular inset portrait above shows him in full martial-arts stance. It's a bold, kinetic image that captures exactly why Marvel was billing this as the biggest martial arts issue ever.
