* Penciler Paul Gulacy begins his long run on MOKF with this issue.

Shang-Chi battles Satma, a dacoit (Si-Fan assassin), and gets caught in his silk noose. Before he blacks out, he remembers what led up to this confrontation: he disguised himself as a longshoreman, brazenly walked into Fu Manchu's New York headquarters, and went through an ordinary door. Coming back to himself, he dispatches Satma, hangs him by his heels, and leaves a note that reads, "First move ~ Shang-Chi."
