Description
Iron Fist faces off against Chaka Khan and the Golden Tigers Gang armed with nun-chucks, swords and deadly sai blades from the story "The Dragon Dies at Dawn!". Huge full-figure image of Iron Fist and tons of Marvel-style martial arts mayhem on this vintage Dave Cockrum cover published at the height of Kung-Fu popularity in the mid-1970s!

Best known for his X-Men work, Dave Cockrum showcased his X-ceptional talents across a wide range of titles and genres. Cockrum was especially admired for his action-packed battle scenes— which this cover captures perfectly.

Thanks Scott!  I still have the Marvel Premiere 22 cover that I bought from you many years ago.  You owned a handful of 70s Iron Fist covers and a keen eye for quality (and still do).

Iron fist with the iron palm heel and steel elbow!  I remember this cover --- such great hands, faces, action, and weapons

Cockrum's hard charging Iron Fist brings it!  The ink job allows Iron Fist to stand out and stay in our focus!  According to one art dealer, striking with the palm won't leave any bruises.  NEXT!

Kung Fu fighting, Iron Fist's a little bit frightening

Just shoot him instead, guys. Thats what guns were invented for. To save you time. Ninja nonsense. Beautifully drawn kung fu and ninja nonsense. I would blame Bruce Lee  and David Carridine and manga. Look at the effect this sort of stuff had on Frank Miller for instance. It prematurely aged him.

False advertising. He is clearly using his palm not his fist ;) Awesome cover. Great pickup, Dino!

Another great cover with an excellent facial expression post fist to the face. Let us not forget the simultaneous back side of the elbow. They just never stood a chance even in lieu of their awesome nunchucks.

There's so much going on in the middle, yet it's so neat and well put together. Cockrum really knew what he was doing. Congrats on another great one, Dino!

Action-packed Iron Fist cover by the amazing Dave Cockrum. Love this cover with Iron Fist bashing his way through a horde of Ninjas! Powerful inks by Danny Crespi really bring the scene to life! Congrats!
