Captain's Library KUNG FU "In the Beginning..."

Here's a treat you likely didn't even know existed...
...a multi-chapter comic strip, which was never seen in the US, based on the 1970s Kung Fu TV series!
To Be Continued Tuesday at...
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!
