Anyone see this movie?

This short run comic series ran about 10 issues during the early 70’s at the height of the Kung Fu movie boom. Not much is known about them, but I was told by various comic artists (who are familiar with that time), that Mexico and S. America were translating the Shang Chi comics into Spanish and there was a high demand for them. They decided to publish weekly (while the series ran monthly in the US). Soon they ran out of stories to translate. Marvel gace them permission to create their own stories and characters to help fill the demand. So this is how La Chika de Kung Fu was created. These issues are getting more and more difficult to find these days.

I still treasure this issue, which I first bought as a kid when it hit the newsstands. I was always drawn to the beautiful covers from this series drawn by the legendary Neal Adams.

Magazines and comics like this, combined with my weekly dose of Kung Fu and Black Exploitation films at Washington DC and NYC's Grindhouse theaters, fueled my childhood dreams of becoming a martial artist and creating heart-pumping fight scenes.

Those early inspirations led me to earn black belts in Tang Soo Do and Japanese Jujitsu. Later, I worked as a stuntman, stunt coordinator, and 2nd unit director, collaborating with legends like Jet Li, Tsui Hark, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Yuen Cheung Yen, Roger Corman, and David Carradine.

My journey proves that imagination, willpower, and a willingness to chase the impossible can take you to unimaginable heights. Follow your bliss in life, everyone!
