Today’s episode also comprises the first 3 chapters of the book The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu. The first of the Fu-Manchu series. It was originally published as The Zayat Kiss in Colliers Magazine in February 1913.
The characters of Nayland Smith, Petrie and Fu Manchu crossed over into the comic world in 1931 in a black and white daily. Nayland Smith made his first appearance in Detective Comics in Detective Comics #17 (DC). Marvel later acquired the rights to the characters, and in the 1970s developed a kung fu television series around the unknown son of Fu Manchu: Shang-Chi. Masters of Kung Fu was cancelled in 1983, and the Rohmer characters haven’t been seen at Marvel since, but Shang-Chi has, eventually headlining his own installment into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2021: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Let’s journey back to where it all began.
