Doctor Petrie

A supporting fixture in Marvel's acclaimed Bronze Age martial-arts saga, Doctor Petrie made their debut in Master of Kung Fu #94 in 1980, brought to life by the celebrated creative trio of Doug Moench, Mike Zeck, and Gene Day. Woven into the rich espionage-tinged world of Shang-Chi, Leiko Wu, Clive Reston, and Black Jack Tarr, Petrie inhabits one of Marvel's most atmospheric and distinctive corners — a series beloved by collectors for its moody sophistication and globe-trotting intrigue. That the character's footprint stretches across nearly four decades of publishing, right through to 2017, speaks to a quiet staying power worth appreciating, and their presence in the Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu Omnibus ensures they'll be rediscovered by every new reader who dives into that essential collection.
