Notes This series is a complete reworking of the character of Richard Dragon, essentially tossing out almost 30 years of continuity; Richard has converted from the wise and Zen like teacher of folks like the Question and the Huntress into an impulsive butt kicking kung fu fighter; Many of the points of origin and history are completely different.
