John Byrne’s Shang-She, Mistress of Kung Fu

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  FOOM, John Byrne, Marvel Comics    Posted date:  February 25, 2010  |  No comment


When I dug out the March 1975 issue of FOOM last week, I found something fun on the back cover—a piece of John Byrne art I don’t think has seen print in 35 years.

I have no idea why we ran this image that issue, not when it was a “Special Cosmic Issue,” with all the other feature content relating to Marvel’s cosmic characters such as Captain Marvel, the Silver Surfer, and Adam Warlock. John probably just whipped up the spoof as a joke and we all thought it so silly we couldn’t resist sharing it.

Which is sort of the same reason I’m sharing it now.

So check out Shang-She, Mistress of Kung Fu, as she teams up with Iron Sis to take on the insidious Su Manchu.
