Synopsis:
“Fin Fang Foom!” — On the island of Formosa, a young scholar named Chan Liuchow takes matters into his own hands when the threat of Communist invasion looms. He travels to the Chinese mainland and awakens the ancient dragon Fin Fang Foom from his slumber, hoping to redirect the creature’s rage against the Red Army. This classic monster tale from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced one of Marvel’s most enduring and mythic dragons in a wildly imaginative Cold War-era allegory.
