"Great News Chums!" was the dreaded phrase that met British comic fans in the 1970's when they opened up their favourite weekly only to find that from next week, it would be merging with a crap publication you never bought. I can't guarantee that we won't merge this blog with one on, say, Taiwanese politics. But for now, enjoy a trip into pre-1985 graphic goodness.

Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave!



Alex Block was the first to cash in on the death of Bruce Lee with this biography, in which he implies that Lee was killed by the 'hand of death'
















This biography by Lee's wife has more legitimacy, though of course is somewhat rose-tinted in its views

































The JKD Band were disco opportunists who sampled a bit of Bruce's battle cries and dialogue to spice up a couple of pretty forgettable instrumentals






Lee's popularity was still high in 1979, and the publishers of
Kung Fu Monthly (of which more at a later date) produced this photo-packed 'tribute'.









This poster magazine from around 1979 was published in Hong Kong. The publishers also produced a whole bunch of Bruce Lee softcover books - watch out for examples soon, chums!
