Set Description:
The Iron Fist, he lifts with kung fu! This tried by fire martial artist transferred the power from an ancient temple to the hands, by going back and forth with hands in the sand, and embers from one hand to another. He originally wasn't meant for this world, but vengeance or shall we say seeking "justice", needed prevailing from the sands of iron. The fist that will keep its iron tempered and attitude as well, and usable at will a lethal instrument, that will brand as it strikes with concentrated iron! Branding as the Iron hand clenched, it ushers the Fist that completes the Marvel Premiere set.
Rage Against the Machine had a Fistful of Steel song, but Iron Fist came first with the street smarts of justice and liberty attitude! Just a little bit of revenge though!

Premiering in Deja Vu with Kung-Fu! It strikes at the child in all of us, what with skill, discipline, and the goal to achieve all while displaying courage and a humble attitude. It is often why the line, "You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts!" Wasn't experienced with too much push back, save the grace that kung-fu was only used when needed. It was far better than teaching the way of a bullet, as you live to fight another day, and that was the whole plot to the movie "Friday!" Days in the sun only mean to keep at it for a precaution of when those moods strike in self-defense. As many bullies were around back then as it is the same today with a different skin, some frustrations can be executed in more opportune or ample ways with more options for following through said self-control.

1st Iron Fist White Pages! Glad to have added this as a white pager, had to wait until they came down in price a little, and it still cost $405 back in 2018! I read issue #16, and I saw the conclusion of the origin of Iron Fist! I like it, seems to be original! Love, Trust, and Determination. What will he accomplish with this newfound power and skill?!? The Netflix was a flop, although the inspiration is not gone though. Now they've gone back to the well, so that the plot so to speak will be closer to comics, in the next installment. We've got some plausible kung fu attraction, after a Shang Chi was more successful, but currently, the interest may "seem" somewhat dismal. The comics may last forever as the plausible undeniable magic were in the embers for good old Iron Fist. It's got the razzle dazzle; it just needs a good production. Selling on sizzle for so long, I'm sure it will grow as a fan base!
Complete with a back cover picture of the 3rd appearance of the Iron Fist! As my 2nd appearance back cover picture is tied up with other importance! I've read #16, now #17, that #15 raw may be an illusion at this point other than a reprint to read! The Iron Fist hits hard with a coming-of-age story, love age, as the relationship lessons is what he's still learning! Picked up from Local Comic Shop Comics Asylum while my friend Punisherpunisherpunisher or Chad is visiting from Australia! For only $11 a vg/fine condition worthy copy!
Grader Notes:
light creasing to cover;
light spine stress lines to cover.

2nd app Iron Fist. Origin Iron Fist continued. 1st appearance of Lei King Thunderer. Finally got this in slab form. I read it and I'm glad to know who the Iron Fist is now, and how he got his powers by transferring the hot embers in the sand. Making it so long at it that the transfer from energy made by the sands of time were now in his hands, to be made of IRON. Man, I hope that it will keep him well off enough to do battle! The 1st part of the origin is in #15, and it would be the betrayal of sorts that only gives the Iron Fist a cause! Now found in our universe, "revenge" could be the task, and there will be a bloodbath. The Iron Fist will need quick redemption after the eyes of justice rain upon his brow. He is satisfied, for now, but the bitter grapes in his stomach will eventually sour. He will get to it after he is done with the Scythe on the cover. Action Packed Martial Arts!
Complete with a back cover picture of a couple issues later, of the 1st Colleen Wing, which is a girlfriend of sorts that needs vigilante justice? Or at least some caring for as the Iron Fist's 1st mission. Picked up from the Local Comic Shop Comics Asylum, for $43 out the door, while my friend Chad boardie Punisherpunisherpunisher is visiting from Australia! It also features a Hulk 181 ad that I, in turn, do have a slabbed "NG" designation signature series copy!

SS by Herb Trimpe and Len Wein on 11/02/13 This is a "no grade" yet it fits in the Registry! An Incredible Hulk #181 ad signed by artist Herb Trimpe and writer Len Wein; it may be the closest that I come to a #181 signed by these legends RIP! Plus, it has Stan Lee's "soap box" on the other side and it is available to read! He even plugs the ever-popular reading material of "Spidey-Super-Stories!" Win Win. While the Marvel Premiere #19 itself was the first appearance of Colleen Wing. Still that readable soapbox and signature is where it's at, and I only have the appreciation for some ads. Mostly the ones that can be considered affordable! Fitting that it is something up my alley though. That is a simple niche, and I've scratched that itch, and that made me smile when I bought this. Not in a panic nor fear of missing out, but the Wolverine in 181 is what it was all about. 181 ads even appearing after the issue of Hulk 180 only goes to show there was an initial success or fervor for the Wolverine! I love that some creators were still available for meeting in person when I got back into collecting too.
Front and Back Cover Pictures that speak of the volumes of virtue older books had within the pages housed in comics, that took the world by storm and even the world over. Peace found by just talking shop and spreading the appearance of helping the funny page business. Spokesman or not, it is an example for the foundation making the newsstands!
