*Marvel: In the wake of the Kung Fu craze which swept the mass media in the 1970s, Marvel, having already scored big with Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, tried to repeat the success with Iron Fist, an orphaned Caucasian boy who learned mystical martial arts in the hidden land of K’Un Lun. Danny Rand had a successful run in Marvel Premiere, then graduated into his own title, co-starred with Power Man for years, and remains an active part of the Marvel Universe to this date. New in, we have Marvel Premiere #15, his first appearance, in which Roy Thomas and Gil Kane kicked off his career. This is an awesome copy, glossy, reflective, tight and flat with firm staples and square corners. Pages are a supple off-white to white. Only a very tiny mark of two that shows it’s been handled, but in reality, as good as it was on the newstand in 1974. Marvel Value Stamp intact, of course. This is an outstanding copy from an original owner collection, bought new in 1974 in New York, and carefully preserved ever since.
