*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, both in comics and in both his own Netflix show and the companion Defenders series. 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). This FN+ copy shows minor edge wear and would grade higher but for the imprint of a few letters below the ‘R’ in ‘Iron’ in the logo; this imprint is very faint and barely discernable in most light. A remarkably attractive copy for the grade.
