KUNG FU "End of the Game"

 We Just Witnessed...

...Kwai Chang Caine, fleeing from the Chinese authorities, stays the night at an abandoned temple local residents believe is haunted!

It's not!

Caine and Wei (the guy pretending to be the ghost haunting the temple), are now heading for the coast...

Writer Steve Moore and artist Paul Neary, created this never-reprinted story from Brown-Watson's Kung Fu Annual (1976), adapting the flashback sub-plot from an episode of the Kung Fu TV series.

Since I last saw these episodes in the early 1980s, I don't remember which one it was, and the supposedly-infallable Internet Movie DataBase wasn't much help.
If anyone does know, i'd appreciate them dropping me a comment with the episode title!

KUNG FU "Aftermath"

We Have Witnessed...

After Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine avenges the senseless slaying of his sensei, the blind Master Po, at the hands of the sleazy nephew of the Emperor of all China, the local military commander, General Lin invades the monastery searching for the young monk...

There are two more chapters to this tale, based on the flashbacks from another TV episode.

Since they involve a supposedly-haunted temple, we're saving them for October, along with another "martial arts meets mysticism" story!

KUNG FU "Worm in the Apple"

We Have Already Witnessed...

Kwai Chang Caine befriends Chao, another who was admitted to the monastery because he had nowhere else to go.

But, unlike Caine, Chao is far from a devoted student and disciple!

To Be Continued Wednesday, at...

Secret Sanctum of Captain Video

Writer Steve Moore and artist Paul Neary, who created this never-reprinted story from Brown-Watson's Kung Fu Annual 1976 made a fascinating creative choice.
They adapted the TV series' pilot movie, "The Way of the Tiger, the Sign of the Dragon"...sort of!
Instead of following the script which begins with Caine already wandering the American Old West, then segueing into flashbacks about how he became wanted by the Chinese authorities and fled to America, the comic adapts only the back story...in chronological order!

Bruce Lee Will Conclude This Week

We intended to present the entire never-reprinted 1990s Bruce Lee mini-series from Malibu Comics...

Original cover art for #2

However, the lack of interest for the story, after excellent response for the Bruce Lee Story graphic novel the week before, indicates the majority of our readers didn't care for the tale.

So, we will run #2, which concludes this particular plotline, Thursday and Friday, since we don't like leaving an audience hanging.

But we aren't doing the remaining four issues.

We're currently-seeking alternative Bruce Lee material to conclude the month, but we may have to drop the project for this year.

But there are other, non-Bruce Lee posts coming, including, in conjunction with our "brother" RetroBlog Secret Sanctum of Captain Video...

...a never-reprinted comic strip adapting the pilot episode of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu from a British hardcover "annual".
That'll run in September.
And we'll be doing monthly multi-post series after that.
