Review/plot:
Crusty Bunkers was a collective of inkers run by Neal Adams.
Points for having a single, full length (aside from text pieces) story featuring all of Marvel's various kung fu characters going up against Fu Manchu.
Demerits for never having any of the characters actually meet each other.
Quality Rating: C

Chronological Placement Considerations: The MCP places this plus Shang Chi's appearances in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #4-11 between Master of Kung Fu #21-22.
