The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #11

In the shadow of the Great Wall, a slave named Ling-Piao—unlike any other—draws the eye of Governor Tao-Min, who sees in him a perfect likeness to the disgraced warrior Shi-Kai. Forced into a deadly deception, Ling-Piao is trained in combat and sent to burn villages under Shi-Kai’s name, sowing chaos and erasing the real man’s legacy. When Shi-Kai learns the truth, he races to the palace, where a final confrontation will expose the impostor and the lies that built his fall.

When the Crow visits his old friend Lin-Sao in Macao, a desperate plea from Mr. Jeremy Stockton throws him into a race against time: rescue Stockton’s son from kidnappers demanding a two-million-dollar ransom in just twenty-four hours. A poisoned dart at the scene leads the Crow into the jungle, where he uncovers a shocking twist—Stockton’s son may not be a victim at all, but the mastermind behind a dangerous deception.

Jeff Blake rides through the countryside when he intervenes after a young boy tries to steal his horse, uncovering a deeper conflict involving the boy’s grandfather and the infamous Six Dragons—a group once formed to resist slavery but now led by corrupt former allies. With the boy and his grandfather in danger, Blake helps them flee to Stoke City and board a stagecoach bound for Rio Grand, navigating a path where loyalty and betrayal are never what they seem.

In "Moving," a young woman trained in the disciplined arts of Zen Kutsu and Ko Kutsu finds her focus tested as she navigates the subtle power of circular motion and precise technique. Through the rhythm of tai sabak and the controlled strikes of gyaku tuski and shuto uke, she moves not just through space, but through the quiet intensity of her training.

In "The Treasure," Shi-Kai leads Mongo on a mission to reclaim stolen wealth from Governor Ling-Piao after Chao Hsi reveals the governor’s hiding place. But when the duo is lured into a trap and imprisoned in a flooding pit, the rebels must risk everything to break in—only to find that escape, not gold, is the real victory.

In "Renounce," Jeff Blake, a weary Pinkerton agent, finds himself imprisoned after a prisoner’s death during a long journey to Tombstone. With the law on his side but the Tong closing in, Blake must choose between fleeing the violence or standing his ground—knowing that the son of Li-Chang has already been killed, and the price of defiance is now personal.

In 1977’s *The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu* #11, a fugitive named Sato—last seen escaping from Arkansas Federal Penitentiary in 1971—reemerges as The Crow, a man accused of stealing the legendary Rainbow Sapphire. When he tries to return the gem to its owner, Charles Duggen, he’s met instead by Duggen’s lawyer, Alfred Maxwell, who slowly unravels a decades-old deception. As the truth behind the theft begins to surface, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and the sapphire’s fate hangs in the balance.
