Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter
Richard Dragon (or simply Dragon) is the alias of two characters appearing in media published by DC Comics. Although both incarnations differ in alignment, they are both portrayed as accomplished martial artists with connections to the League of Assassins. The first incarnation, Richard Drakunovski, was created by Dennis O'Neil and Jim Berry (cartoonist), James R. Berry in the novel ''Kung Fu Master, Richard Dragon: Dragon's Fists'' (1974) under the shared pseudonym "Jim Dennis". O'Neil later adapted the character for DC Comics in the comic book ''Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter''. A thief who was trained in martial arts and decided to use his skills for good, the character is considered one of DC Comic's premier martial artists alongside peers such as Bronze Tiger, Lady Shiva, and Batman. In more recent continuities, the character is depicted as a more benevolent member of the League of Assassins who was killed by a former student. (Print book) (eBook) In DC's The New 52, New 52 ...

Denny O'Neil
Dennis "Denny" Joseph O'Neil (May 3, 1939 – June 11, 2020) was an American comic book writer and editor, principally for Marvel Comics and DC Comics from the 1960s through the 1990s, and Group Editor for the Batman family of titles until his retirement. His best-known works include '' Green Lantern/Green Arrow'' and ''Batman'' with Neal Adams. For ''Batman'', the team is credited with returning the character to his dark pulp fiction roots, in contrast to the campy ''Batman'' television series of the 1960s. However, comics historian Les Daniels considers O'Neil's "vengeful obsessive-compulsive" Batman to be an original interpretation that has influenced all subsequent portrayals of the character. It was during this run that O'Neil co-created the Batman villains Ra's al Ghul and Talia al Ghul. During their ''Green Lantern/Green Arrow'' run, O'Neil and Adams introduced a mature, realistic tone through stories such as " Snowbirds Don't Fly", in which Green Arrow's ward R ...
