Master of Kung Fu #102

A nighttime graveyard becomes a battlefield in this July 1981 entry from Marvel's long-running series, as Shang-Chi — dressed in vivid red and gold — battles a wave of masked assassins while a skeletal dragon-like creature looms menacingly overhead. Gene Day's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, bodies flying in every direction against a city skyline lit in blues and reds. "Assassins in the Night!" promises exactly the kind of tense, atmospheric martial-arts action that made Master of Kung Fu one of Marvel's most distinctive titles of the era.
