Written by Miguel Ferrer & Bill Mumy with art by Gray Morrow.
Complex story reads more like a film script than a typical comic book. Artist Gray Morrow apparently based several characters in this story on known celebrities, including Jose Ferrer, James Stewart, Peter Strauss, Jackie Gleason, Bruce Lee and Dean Martin.

| Paul Gulacy's marvelous Sean Connery & Marlon Brando! |

| Gulacy did some of the best take-offs of Bruce Lee. |
I always enjoyed it when Paul Gulacy would also base characters in the Master of Kung Fu on celebrities, including Marlon Brando, Sean Connery and Bruce Lee.
Live Large My Friends!
Thank You!
