Description
Atlas Comics presents The Hands of the Dragon Issue #1, the debut and origin issue of the short-lived martial arts series published in June 1975 during the brief but highly collectible Atlas/Seaboard Comics era. This first issue introduces the character with the dramatic cover tagline, “From the Holocaust of an Atomic Explosion Comes the Toughest Kung Fu Fighter of Them All!”
The striking cover artwork captures the spirit of 1970s martial arts and action comics, featuring the titular hero in combat against a colourful cast of villains and adversaries. As one of Atlas Comics’ lesser-seen titles, this issue appeals to collectors of obscure Bronze Age comics and fans of the publisher’s ambitious challenge to Marvel and DC during the mid-1970s.
A desirable first issue from the short-lived Atlas Comics line and an increasingly sought-after addition to Bronze Age comic collections.
