Welcome to Masterofkungfu.net!

This is (to my knowledge) the only fan site for the Marvel Comics' Character Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. The goal is to have a spot on the web for those who loved the original series to be able to have a web 'shrine' of sorts - for fans to come together to discuss issues they liked, and, as the character is supposed to be set for film down the line, maybe this can be a place for fans to express what they do and DON'T want to see in the movie!

(Note: PLEASE do not cast William Hung as Shang-Chi. Or else!) In the coming months, I plan to have a complete 'episode guide' of the adventures of Shang-Chi (Not including the 'Ultimate' variations) created by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin, then peaked to greatness by Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy, which additional contributions by Gene Day and a giant list of other artists who I'll be documenting in this site and trying to gather as much available information, art, interviews, and fan work related to Shang-Chi as we can get permission on to put up!

GIGANTIC thanks to Ken Lemons and the Grand Comic Book Database at www.comics.org for their extremely generous permission to use scans and references of Shang-Chi here. Images from the comics and whatnot, of course, belong to Marvel Comics Group- This is a non-profit freebie fan website solely for the purposes of sharing our love of the character and stories, while fully acknowledging that the character belongs to Marvel Comics. Also, I'll be looking into fan art and fan fiction and try to get a bulletin board up in the next few months as well as take suggestions on how to make this (hopefully) the ULTIMATE Master of Kung Fu website.
Enjoy and am targeting August 2006 for this to happen!

Best, Crazy Asian Man Harvey Chin
