They were a superb team and primed Shang-Chi for a long and successful run that would last for over 100 issues of crazy kung fu. Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin did only 4 Shang-Chi stores together--the first three color comics and the first black and white story in Deadly Hands. At times he was featured in 3 publications per month. Shang-Chi had one of the highest profiles of any Marvel character, in just a short period of time. It went from bi-monthly to monthly status by issue 20. They renamed the clunky Special Marvel Edition with the new title Master of Kung Fu with issue 17.
Shang-Chi should realize at this point that these aren't the plans of a good man, but then, Nayland Smith's irregulars don't have the glow of holiness about them when they're ripping tombstones from the ground and throwing them at him. And that means stopping his latest scheme which involves digging up Burmese assassins from an English graveyard to turn them into giant lizard-riding zombies who will attack the Queen of England. Meanwhile, Sir Denis has assembled the team of Fu Fighters that surrounded OUR Shang-Chi, perhaps much sooner than in our reality, to track down Petrie's killer and step up the war against Fu Manchu. Fu Manchu tries to spin something about killing killers being all right for the greater good, but Shang-Chi's not that naive. Altered history: Shang-Chi doesn't stick around to hear what Sir Denis has to say, but still questions his father about his methods. Turning point: What if Shang-Chi took off just a little sooner from the crime scene. He does so, but is surprised by Sir Denis Nayland Smith who reveals all he knows about Fu Manchu, causing Shang-Chi to turn against his father.
