The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #28

Ken Barr's painted cover for this September 1976 issue is a visceral showpiece — a shirtless, intensity-radiating Bruce Lee mid-strike with nunchaku, jaw set in a battle cry against a stark white background splashed with red. Billed as "The Bruce Lee Story" and "The Greatest Martial Arts Legend Ever," issue #28 of The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu makes its subject's appeal unmistakable. Inside, writer Martin Sands and artist Joe Staton bring the action to the page, with inking from Tony DeZuniga and The Tribe rounding out this tribute to martial arts' most celebrated figure.
