Master of Kung Fu #30

The cover of issue #30, penciled by Gil Kane and inked by Frank Giacoia, delivers exactly what it promises — Shang-Chi and Razor-Fist locked in fierce combat inside a shadowy pit swarming with snarling lions, with bodies and blades flying in every direction. The tag line "You want action? Okay, you got it!" is no idle boast when the scene packs two fighters, multiple lunging big cats, and pure kinetic chaos into a single image. Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy bring their 1975 martial-arts storytelling to "A Gulf of Lions," a title that makes this one of the more wild, high-stakes chapters in Shang-Chi's ongoing saga.
