American Update: 1st Iron Fist in Marvel Premiere #15
*Marvel: In the wake of the Kung Fu craze which swept the mass media in the 1970’s, 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, mainly in various Avengers titles. New in, we have Marvel Premiere #15, his first appearance, in which Roy Thomas and Gil Kane kicked off the career of the fisting fury (no, that sounded wrong). A highly attractive VF+ cents copy (never distributed in the UK), this is offered at £200 – but given the imminent Netflix TV show, just see where it goes in a few months’ time… SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
