comment
Richard Dragon Kung-Fu Fighter was DC's attempt to cash in on the mid 1970's Kung Fu craze, with its first issue being an adaptation of a pulp novel by the same authors that had been released the previous year. The book was canceled at 18 issues in the DC Implosion, which claimed 31 titles in all.The series is notable for introducing the deadly Lady Shiva, who went on to become a much more villainous character against whom most of the DC's non-powered heroes have to fight or find ways to avoid fighting, and Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger, who became an integral part of the Suicide Squad as he sought redemption. Richard Dragon himself became important to the backstories of many characters throughout the DCU as a martial arts instructor, most notably The Question and Black Canary.

Bloodless Carnage
 Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter (Comic Book) / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: To ridiculous extents. Several characters get skewered through and killed without it even tearing their clothes, one unfortunate gets a large knife jammed in his skull by way of the eye-socket with no bleeding, Carolyn is killed in a motorcycle accident that leaves the bike in pieces and rammed her upper torso into the back of a truck at high speeds with no visible injuries so that she can pose like a pretty model as she dies, and Jane looks like she was killed immediately by having an axe swing kinda close to her hip, the second time it's shown just makes it look more like the axe missed her entirely. The best part is the narration often describes the pooling or leaking blood while the image clearly shows no blood or damage whatsoever.

comment
Instant Expert: Averted hard despite the genre. Richard trains under O-Sensei for more than six years prior to setting off on his adventures, and Ben even longer. Jane is said to show great promise as a martial arts student but gets killed in the third real fight she's involved in partially because she's only been studying for about a year (and partially because the authors wanted Ben to go on a quest to avenge her so she just stood there like a statue instead of doing anything).

Magical Asian: O-Sensei is an Japanese old master who patiently taught Richard (white guy protagonist) and Ben (African American protagonist) martial arts for over six years. He is shown to have at least three other students he was teaching alongside them, but these individuals are more like set dressing than characters and given no identifying traits besides "Asian" and one of them seems to hate pants since he's always wearing short shorts or a leotard.

Scream Discretion Shot: Carolyn's screams as the Swiss starts torturing her are shown from outside the building she's in. This wasn't necessary since the series has made it clear that even if a woman was decapitated she'd still look whole and pretty, with only the narration cluing in the poor reader.

All Asians Know Martial Arts: Subverted actually, out of the named characters Carolyn Wu (Shiva's sister) doesn't know any martial arts, and neither does Shiruto. They both end up dead in situations where having such knowledge might have served to save their lives. (Post-Crisis continuity of course retconned Carolyn into a martial artist per this trope)

Idiot Ball

comment
Idiot Ball: Given out like candy: Richard proclaims that he and Ben can't involve the police in Carolyn's kidnapping because the two of them said they'd help her. This leads to her torture because Ben was shot and couldn't really help so Carolyn's only hope of rescue from a single martial artist who isn't even familiar with the area. Carolyn is freed from her capture by the Swiss, and then runs down an alley straight into the man's arms. She wasn't looking behind her or anything, she just ran straight to the man who just tortured her for several hours and tossed herself into his arms and acted surprised when he captured her again. Most people Richard kills, like the Swiss and the Silent Samurai, are people he should know he needs to question and whom he has every opportunity to subdue in a non-fatal way. All of these killings occur when Richard is furious. The Viper accidentally commits suicide by piloting his helicopter into Russian airspace where he very well knows there's an armed patrol flying through the area waiting for someone to do just that. For the record he's fleeing from two people who are on foot without long ranged weapons (though Shiva does do some rather impossible things with thrown swords and shuriken).

The Paragon Always Rebels: Ben is the most heroic of the main trio but becomes consumed with his need to avenge Jane in the final issues, which leads to his disappearance and assumed death. Richard falls into a depression and stops shaving or teaching lessons, Shiva disappears and is implied to have had a hand in or at least knowledge of his disappearance. Unfortunately this is the point at which the series was cut short, but the implications that the League of Assassins was behind Ben's disappearance are supported by Post-Crisis continuity, and the next time Ben sees Richard following the series he's dragging him out of an underground fighting ring where Rich has been fighting people to their deaths each night and Shiva has become a proper irredeemable villain instead of staying the the grey area she skirted for this series.

Pretty Princess Powerhouse: Sun Ling Po was a pretty young woman with fighting ability descended from the House of Zhu. Her royal bloodline is only revealed after she is killed by her sister and she had no interest in pursuing it or the "rights" it afforded her.

Blood Knight: Shiva. Her only reason for allying with the heroes is that she gets to go on adventures and find new opponents to fight. She's usually disappointed in their skills, but appreciates that Dragon and Ben don't often give her much trouble for killing her opponents as long as there's a proper melee going on.

Five-Token Band
 Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter (Comic Book) / int_b7e74b77
comment
Five-Token Band: Amusingly none of their backgrounds are specified but Ben is implied to be originally African American or maybe Canadian since that's where his sister was living despite first showing up living Japan, Richard is of unknown origin but was a thief living in Japan at the start of the series, and Shiva is Chinese-American (with possible Japanese ancestry as well),note  her parents had a place in lower Manhattan, her uncle had a Japanese name and lived in San Francisco and in issue 14 she calls herself and Richard "Americans". The only member of their group that's definitely not American is the Japanese O-Sensei, who rarely shows up outside of flashbacks in which he dispenses sage wisdom. (Richard, Ben and Shiva were all made American citizens by birth in later retcons, though Shiva has been retconned to being Chinese and from an unspecified South-East Asian country as well so she's got quite the Multiple-Choice Past).

Forgotten Fallen Friend: Steve, one of Richard and Ben's students who is murdered on the steps of their New York dojo is never brought up again after the issue he died in. Heck he seemed to be forgotten even before the end of that issue. While Jane isn't forgotten in this series the Post-Crisis flashback to her murder replaces her with Suspiciously Similar Substitute Miyoshi, who is then quickly forgotten about.

Supporting Protagonist: While either Richard or Ben could be The Hero of the book Ben is unquestionably the one driving the plot. He's the one who decides to ally with G.O.O.D. to take down a slavery ring, he's the one who has mysterious assassins after him that need investigating, he's the one whose fiancé is murdered and decides to avenge her, and his inheritance of a logging company from his sister means he needs to travel there. Richard is just tagging along with his buddy and the other plot points occur either due to Ben's decision for the two of them to work with G.O.O.D. or due to Carolyn's attackers.

Interchangeable Asian Cultures: The "Samurai Sword" Barney Ling gives to Shiva was forged by the fictional 18th century "Sing Lu" and looks like a Chinese dao with a Japanese tsuka style wrapped hilt. Telegram Sam is presumably Chinese due to his involvement with the Tongs but knows Japanese martial arts and his mute Doomsday Double (which are dressed in the same attire as the original) is dressed like a Samurai. Shiva's imagery is all over the place, with vaguely Asian and Middle Eastern influences in her weaponry, clothing and appearance. There's also the glaring point that the series is called Richard Dragon Kung-Fu Fighter when Dragon trained at a dojo in Japan under an elderly Japanese man rather than Chinese, though O-Sensei is shown visiting China to visit and study with martial artists.

Martial Pacifist: O-Sensei, who allows himself to be captured and tortured without a fight until someone else's life is at risk at which point he quickly disables his captors. Ben gives lip service to the idea but he's way too busy fighting to actually try and emulate it.

Pungeon Master: Shiva loves a good pun. Or a bad pun. If there's a pun to be made and she notices it she's gonna say it, regardless of how inappropriate the timing may be.

Selective Magnetism

comment
Selective Magnetism: When Ojo claims to have magnetized Shiva, Richard and Ben the knives in the room all fly at them from across the room but once they've knocked them aside they just lay still on the floor, even though they're now closer to both the claimed and actual source of the magnetic pull that drew them over there in the first place.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter (Comic Book) / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To the point that it's likely just a name mix-up since Jane replaces an identical love interest who lives in the same place and has the same background who showed up in a single previous issue with the name Joy Dillard. Even her earrings are the same.

comment
You Killed My Father: Shiva shows up looking for revenge on whomever killed her sister, and attacks Richard who was framed for it. Subsequent events and her own words prove that even though she loved her sister and was looking forward to killing her killer she was maybe looking for a good fight more than vengeance.
