That cover is so fantastic. Does anyone know the story behind it being reused as a cover for Vampirella some years later?

 

To my knowledge, Alberto Pujolar never did any other comic covers. Such a shame. I rank this cover right up there with the greatest ever on a comic mag. I wish he had been hired to do more of them for us. :(

 

 

They used the reverse of the negative to make this one. It is cool to see them side by side, as they are mirror images.

Man, I'll tell you what, I used to LOVE this magazine!

Much more so than it's regular color comic counterpart in MASTER OF KUNG FU.

In fact, I had a letter published in one of the subsequent issues to this initial DEADLY HANDS. In the end, I wound up with a complete collection of the title. Between this B & W , the magazine FIGHTING STARS & all the "chop socky" films that were running in theaters, at drive ins & on television, I was just about CRAZED with "Kung Fu Fever" back then in the early to mid '70s when I was 12, 13, 14 years old.

So much so that they inspired me to begin instruction at a local Karate studio. An old school Okinawan school that I stayed with for several months before switching to another style of Karate, then Tae Kwon Do & finally Judo. And while I collected a nice little collection of colored belts during those couple/three years, I never truly connected with anything until I began boxing at 17 in '78. Which led to an amateur career of 27 fights & then, later, a brief pro career.

All via the initial inspiration of THE DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU.

I even returned to `the more traditional martial arts when I segued during the last couple years of my boxing career into cross training in kickboxing. Which eventually led me to earning a long coveted black belt in Hawaiian Kempo.
