The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #12

Neal Adams delivers a kinetic cover painting for this 1975 black-and-white magazine, showing a white-clad fighter at the center of a chaotic multi-opponent brawl — a massive bare-chested warrior charges from the left, a staff-wielding attacker lunges from behind, and two more fighters fly in from the upper corners, one of them a red-suited martial artist airborne mid-kick. The bold tagline "No Man Can Stand Against… The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu" sets the tone perfectly, while a promised feature on "James Bond Invades the Martial Arts" adds an extra layer of pop-culture appeal to this action-packed issue. Inside, Doug Moench and Rudy Nebres bring the story "Blood of the Golden Dragon" to life — a title that promises plenty of the high-stakes martial arts drama this series does so well.
