NSFW Note: Racist, xenophobic Asian stereotypes ahead...

To Be Continued...
This 1951 one-shot from Avon Comics was based on the novel Mask of Fu Manchu, which had already been adapted for both a radio serial and a movie (starring Boris Karloff as Fu and Myrna Loy as Fah Lo Suee)!
Though the scripter is unknown, the tale is Illustrated by young up-and-comers Wally Wood and Joe Orlando (who split the penciling and inking almost on a panel-by-panel basis)!
