"Masterstroke!" Script by Len Wein. Pencils by Ross Andru. Inks by Al Milgrom. Cover by Gil Kane (pencils), John Romita, and Tony Mortellaro. The villainous Fu Manchu formaulates a master plan: make Spider-Man and Shang-Chi believe that each other is a criminal, and then set up a super showdown at the Con Ed Power Plant near the 59th street bridge! Even if the web-slinger and the Master of Kung Fu survive their epic battle with one another, the two heroes must still stop Fu Manchu at the Empire State Building! A terrific action issue!

Spider-Man is offered membership into the Avengers, but he must capture the Incredible Hulk first! Reprinted from Amazing Spiderman Annual 3.
Key book: first meeting Spider-Man & Shang-Chi, first crossover Shang-Chi outside Kung Fu series. Very good condition.
