HiiiiiiiiiYA, Groove-ophiles! Y'know, Marvel's line of
Giant-Size comics (68 pages for fifty cents) generated tons of excitement in 74/75! One of the best of the best was
Giant-Size Master of Kung Fu #1 (June 1974). Regular writer Doug Moench teamed with semi-regular artists Paul Gulacy and Dan Adkins (truly a team that was anything but REGULAR, baby) for an epic 25 page
Shang-Chi vs.
Fu Manchu tale! Both Moench and Gulacy applied a truly cinematic style, and man, were they ever clicking on "Death Masque!"
