The Avengers #28
In "Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu!", the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as Dormammu challenges Doctor Strange to a duel of pure skill, forbidding magic and spells—only the Pincers of Power may be used. With Mordo lurking in the shadows and the Ancient One’s fate uncertain, Strange must rely on wit and discipline in a fight that tests his limits like never before. Written by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee, with art and inks by Ditko, this 1974 Marvel UK issue features a cover by Ron Wilson, Frank Giacoia, and Mike Esposito.
In "Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu!" from The Avengers #28 (1974), a young man trained in deadly martial arts is sent to England on a mission that defies his moral code—only to uncover a truth far darker than he imagined. When he learns his father, Fu Manchu, is not the noble mentor he believed, but a nearly immortal villain manipulating the world from the shadows, Shang-Chi must choose between loyalty and justice. The story follows his journey from obedience to defiance as he confronts the man who raised him, setting a course that will change everything.
In "The Pincers of Power!", Strange, Mordo, and the Ancient One are sent to a neutral dimension by Dormammu, who then uses a sleeping potion on the Mindless Ones to secure his domain. With nearby dimension rulers summoned, Dormammu challenges Strange to a duel for mastery of Earth—using only the Pincers of Power, no spells or incantations allowed. The battle is intense, a test of skill and will, but just as Strange gains the upper hand, Mordo strikes from behind.
