Art by Neal Adams & Dick Giordano

...here's a never-reprinted Yuletide tale from over a half-century ago that we originally-presented over a decade ago, so it's likely most of the blog's current readers have never seen it!

The cover story for DC's Hot Wheels #6 (1971) was written by Len Wein, with art by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano, following Alex Toth's character designs from the 1969-1971 animated series based on the toy line.
Toth also illustrated most of the stories in the comic series!

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!

Plotted by Archie Goodwin, scripted by David Micheline, penciled by Dan Reid, and inked by Danny Bulanadi, this opener of a two-issue tale from Marvel's Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #10 (1982) shows there's no detail that escapes comics creatives who are obvious fans of a movie/TV series!
