Random Reads: "Home to Die" by Moench and Broderick

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Here's a cool "kinda-filler" ish of Master of Kung Fu (#70, August 1978) written by regular series author Doug Moench and penciled by (for the first and only time) Pat Broderick (with inks by John Tartaglione). Ol' Groove digs "Home to Die" 'cause it spotlights his second fave MOKF (after Shang Chi, natch) character, Black Jack Tarr. Dig it!

    This one is going way back into my early years and could possibly be my first collaboration with Doug.. Learned so much over the years....

    It's in the same style as the amazing art Pat did on Captain Marvel - e.g. Deathgrip & Trouble on Titan.
