Wilson pencils and Romita alterations on Black Jack Tarr and Shang-Chi per Nick Caputo, 2006. Back Issue magazine #105, page 6, incorrectly credits Jim Starlin on pencils, however the original version was drawn by Starlin and inked by Al Milgrom as can be seen here: https://50yearoldcomics.com/2024/01/20/master-of-kung-fu-17-april-1974/
