jkcarrierLook here to see what other posters chose for Day 8. My pick is...
Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy
Master of Kung Fu #44-50
Fu Manchu had been Shang Chi's recurring nemesis since the first issue, but Moench wisely realized that familiarity would breed contempt, and decided to let Fu fade into the background for a while. Those in-between issues featured a lot of memorable new enemies like Carlton Velcro, Mordillo, and Cat. But we all knew that Fu would be back sooner or later, and he finally returned in style: a seven part epic that took Shang and company across the globe and into outer space. Moench's James Bond-influenced storyline and Gulacy's cinematic art were a perfect match, and the round-robin narration (spotlighting a different member of the cast in each installment) gave Moench plenty of opportunity to develop the supporting players and to wax poetic. It's a grand opera with a brain AND a heart, and one of the best extended storylines in an era that had a lot of 'em.
