Batman and The Master of Kung Fu
Out of all of the martial arts characters that came out during the 70's, two really rose to the top: Iron Fist and Shang-Chi, The Master of Kung Fu. Iron Fist of course was a cross between a martial artist and superhero, so that was cool to me. Shang-Chi, on the other hand was a straight up martial artist, inspired by the likes of David Carradine's TV Kung Fu character. The neat thing was that he was still set firmly in the Marvel Universe and would appear with Spider-Man, The Thing and others.

Oh I loved the Master of Kung Fu, especially when written by Dough Moench!
This is another of those team ups that I was "really" happened in continunity.
Maybe when Disney decides to sell Marvel to Time Warner/DC? ;)
This rocks MoKF was one of my favorite books. Wish they could somehow re-print them. And that Power Man/Iron Fist piece rocks as well. Have you ever done a Heroes For Hire/Brave and the Bold cover?
This one is done extremely well, you have to look pretty close to notice the difference in art styles and the contrasts (or lack thereof) are perfect.
