In the 70's, one of my all-time favorite comics was
Iron Fist. Written by Chris Claremont and drawn by John Byrne. Byrne once drew parody art of
Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu and
Iron Fist. It appeared on back cover of the magazine FOOM as
Shang-She, Mistress of Kung Fu and
Iron Sis, while
Fu Manchu became
Su Manchu. I loved it at the time, but disliked the color treatment, seen below. (I didn't understand printing in only two colors to save costs.) Even though it's cool in its own way, a little piece of me never accepted its crudeness. So, I decided to scratch that tiny itch and, through the magic of Photoshop (and manual labor), make a full color version! (Using the color of the times.)
Here's the original image...
And here's the front cover of Foom #9, March 1975.
