DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU # 17 (1975) Neal Adams cover, 76 pgs


A rare and sought after Marvel black and white martial arts magazine of the 1970s. Painted cover by comics superstar NEAL ADAMS. 76 pgs total inclusive of cover. Dimension: 8 x 11 size. It features beautiful b&w artwork by Filipino comics artist RUDY NEBRES on the "Shang Chi: Master of Kung Fu" feature and George Perez/Jack Abel b&w artwork on the "Sons of the Tiger" feature. It also has a magazine interview with Enter the Dragon director, ROBERT CLOUSE, followed by another magazine article by martial artists of the US tournament scene at the time. This is an entertaining and good read. Storywise, I liked the "Sons of the Tiger" feature.

Condition: VERY GOOD/FINE-. Except for the small minor tears on the front cover (upper left and upper right corner edges, side edges and a small tear on the spine) and that there is some minor fading of color in spine edges of the front cover, this is a near perfect comic in good condition. No creases or stress lines on either cover or interior pages. Ever so slight corner blunting. Inside pages are cream to off-white, supple and not brown or brittle. Item is totally FLAT. Using Overstreet Comic grading standards, this is almost in Fine condition except for minor, exceptional imperfections stated above. Please see photos accompanying this ad to appreciate.

PRICE: USD$10 or Php 450 whichever is convenient for you.
