MOKF Monday: "A Gulf of Lions" by Moench, Gulacy, and Adkins
There is a reason Marvel's Master of Kung Fu is legendary among fandom. The stories are slick, fast-paced, and well-written with masterful dialogue. Doug Moench is one of the most astounding writers of all time, no jive! Add to that the pencils of the Second-Coming-of-Steranko* Paul Gulacy whose storytelling skills are pretty much unrivaled (inked in today's story by the mighty Dan Adkins), and you can understand the mag's fame. When you actually get to read one of those Moench/Gulacy classics, you KNOW why MOKF is so deservedly lauded. Just take, for example, "A Gulf of Lions" from Master of Kung Fu #30 (April 1975)...
*And be sure, Gulacy wasn't ripping off Steranko--he totally got what Steranko was doing and took things to a whole 'nuther level.

We're heading back to MOKF #29 (March 1975) and "The Crystal Connection"!
