While Bruce Lee demonstrated his Jeet Kune Do in the movies, DC produced a new series featuring martial arts expert Richard Dragon. Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter was based on the 1974 novel Dragon Fists by "Jim Dennis" (the shared pseudonym of comic book writer Denny O'Neil and artist Jim Berry). With art by Leo Duranona, the series adapted Dragon's origins - as a young thief, reformed to train in the martial arts - for the DC universe.
