Description: Classic Bruce Lee "Enter the Dragon" painted cover by Neal Adams. Interior artwork by George Perez, Rudy Nebres and Jack Abel with a frontispiece by Bob McLeod and Keith Giffen. Interview with "Enter the Dragon" director Robert Clouse. This unforgettable image showcases the greatest and most famous master martial artist of all time, Bruce Lee. This cover depicts the classic climatic fight scene between Lee (Bruce Lee) and the metal-claw wielding Han (Shih Kien), from the movie Enter the Dragon (Warner Bros., 1973). Enter the Dragon would prove to be Bruce Lee's greatest and most successful, yet ultimately last film, as he would tragically die at the young age of 32 on July 20, 1973. Lee did not live to attend the premiere of the film in Hollywood, nor attain the popularity and success he so longed for by American audiences, by which Enter the Dragon ironically awarded him with. After his death, Lee gained mythic status and popularity and has continued to be a prominent influence on modern day combat sports such as karate, judo, boxing and mixed martial arts, as well as pop culture including feature films, television, comics, animation and video games. TIME magazine even named Bruce Lee as one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. Top 5 certified copy.
