Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter: Coming of the Dragon!

In 2021, DC Comics revisited a classic martial arts hero with Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter: Coming of the Dragon!, a single-issue special that reconnects with the gritty, street-level energy of the 1970s. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Ric Estrada—the original creative team behind the character's debut—this one-shot honors the series' Bronze Age roots while offering a self-contained story of discipline and combat. It matters as a focused tribute to one of DC's lesser-known but quietly influential fighters, showing how O'Neil's philosophical approach to action still resonates decades later.
