SAVAGE FISTS OF KUNG FU "Master Plan of Fu Manchu" Chapter 1: Iron Fist

Now that we've given you a primer about the villain and the story's prologue, let's dive in...
HOLD IT!
We promised you the never-reprinted color version of this story!
Let's try it again...
That's better...
To be continued...
...with the Sons of the Tiger!
Notes: Writer Doug Moench was the regular scripter of the Iron Fist b/w magazine strip, but penciler Frank McLauglin wasn't the strip's artist!

He did have extensive martial arts-illustration experience as the co-creator of Charlton's Judomaster / JudoMaster /Judo Master (depending on if you accepted the logo or word balloon spelling) several years earlier!
Frank also was a martial arts practitioner and illustrated numerous "how to do" features for both Charlton and Marvel (in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu)!
The inker group called "Crusty Bunkers" were members of legendary artist Neal Adams' studio Continuity Associates.
The participants on each job varied depending on who was available when a job (usually with an incredibly-tight deadline) came in!
This particular story appears to have featured Dick Giordano and Alan Weiss, along a couple of Neal Adams-inked panels.
