Collecting SPECIAL MARVEL EDITION #15-16, MASTER OF KUNG FU (1974) #17-37, GIANT-SIZE MASTER OF KUNG FU #1-4, GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN #2 and material from IRON MAN ANNUAL #4.

Yes, that's right ... "Death Lair," the five-page Midnight story I wrote sometime in 1976 -- and that subsequently saw print about a year later in IRON MAN ANNUAL #4 -- is being included in the Master of Kung Fu Omnibus.

(It was one of the first stories I wrote for Marvel ... so, be kind,)

Cool. I assume Marvel got the estate that owns the Fu Manchu trademark to finally allow it to be reprinted.

Looks like your seventh published work for Marvel, if you include framing sequences. By my count, it goes like this:

Marvel Treasury Edition #13 (framing sequences)
Marvel Presents #8 (framing sequences)
Marvel Presents #10
Omega the Unknown #8
Fantastic Four #183
Marvel Presents #11
Iron Man Annual #4

I could have the order wrong, though.

It's a nice cover but I'll take the Jim Starlin one.
