Master of Kung Fu #39 - 1976 First Appearance of Cat - VF

Bronze Age kung-fu books never stay boring for long. Master of Kung Fu #39 features the first appearance of Cat, adding another layer of espionage, martial arts intrigue, and stylish 70s Marvel storytelling to the legendary run.

This series had a habit of introducing memorable supporting characters and assassins like it was nothing—and that’s exactly why collectors keep circling back to it. This raw copy sits in Very Fine (VF) condition with strong structure and clean vintage presentation.

As Shang-Chi’s comic roots continue getting more attention, early Master of Kung Fu issues—especially first appearances—have quietly become one of Marvel’s more underrated Bronze Age lanes. Stylish, unique, and just weird enough to stand out.
