Master of Kung Fu #124

The cover of issue #124 sets a tense, personal tone with its tagline "…In the House of His Father…" — Shang-Chi, clad in red and armed with traditional weapons, battles two uniformed, shaven-headed opponents across what appears to be the corridors of an imposing compound. William Johnson's linework captures the kinetic energy of the fight beautifully, with strikes landing and weapons clashing in every corner of the image. "Retribution!" promises exactly the kind of high-stakes, character-driven martial arts drama that made this long-running Marvel series such a compelling read in 1983.
