Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter #4

DC's mid-1970s martial arts wave hits hard with this November 1975 installment, cover-penciled and inked by Dick Giordano. The cover captures Richard Dragon in full flight, delivering a blazing high kick to an opponent while a second white-gi-clad fighter is simultaneously locked in combat nearby — all while a fallen figure in red lies motionless at their feet. With interior work from the creative team of Denny O'Neil, Ric Estrada, and Wally Wood, "A Time to Be a Whirlwind!" promises exactly the kinetic energy its cover delivers.
