So before we all close up shop for the season, here's the greatest Christmas song ever, and one which you sadly won't be hearing in between Slade & Shakin' Stevens any time this year. From The National Lampoon's seminal 1975 Good-Bye Pop album, it's Kung Fu Christmas.
And here's not only a Kung Fu, but a Blaxploitation Christmas story, with the first meeting of ace Bronze Age double act Power Man & Iron Fist.
Ok, technically this tale takes place on New Years Eve, but a) It's still snowing and b) I'm betting Luke's been celebrating all damn week. This is early John Byrne at his best, and if it's also full of Chris Claremont's patented writer's tic's ( like Iron Fist verbalizing every single thought that enters his head ), well, it is the season of good will to all men. Let's give Chris a break.
Wherever you'll be this yuletide, whatever you'll be doing, enjoy and have an absolutely Kung Fu Christmas.
