Lin Sun

Born into the Bronze Age martial arts craze that swept Marvel in the early 1970s, Lin Sun made their debut in Kung Fu Special #1 (1974), brought to life by creator Malachi Ronin. Over a remarkable span stretching across 45 years, this Marvel figure carved out a niche in some of the era's most distinctive titles — The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu and The Spectacular Spider-Man among them — sharing panels with a stellar roster that includes Shang-Chi, White Tiger, Abe Brown, Bob Diamond, and Lotus Shinchuko. That's rarefied company, the very heart of Marvel's kung fu golden circle, and it speaks to Lin Sun's place at the center of a beloved corner of the Bronze Age universe. For collectors hunting the rich, atmospheric martial arts books that defined an era, Lin Sun is a name well worth tracking down.
