THE COMIC BOOK SERIES
CHAPTER 1
JOHN TIMOTHY KEEHAN
You might remember those iconic comic book ads of the 1970s, but do you know the story behind them?
John Timothy Keehan returned home to Chicago, a Vietnam War veteran ready to make a name for himself in martial arts. But what he found was a hard town, run by the Outfit. So Keehan and his old war buddy, Sidney Brown, set forth on a plan that would turn the nice Irish boy from Beverly, Chicago, into the most vicious, hairdressing, car-selling, cape-wearing karate master to ever live.

CHAPTER 2
ENTER THE PIT VIPER

But while it does attract students, it also brings our hero to the attention of a rival dojo's dangerous sensei – Haruki Endo, the dreaded Pit Viper.
CHAPTER 5
THE DOJO WARS
Dante has discovered that not all victories are sweet. The Count may have won his tournament, but the Outfit ransacked his dojo and murdered his friend. When that happens, there is only one thing
left to do: dojo war.
Coming soon.

CHAPTER 6
THE POISON HAND
