Iron Fist

Marvel’s Iron Fist (1975–1977) introduced readers to Danny Rand, a martial arts master who channels the mystical power of the Iron Fist. Over 15 issues, writers like Chris Claremont and artists such as John Byrne and Dave Cockrum grounded his kung-fu exploits in the wider Marvel universe, blending street-level action with supernatural lore. This series established the character’s core mythology and remains a foundational piece of Marvel’s ’70s martial arts revival.
