message: You are absolutely wrong about the word "Marvel" being anywhere in this magazine.  I have every copy of Deadly Hands of Kung Fu.  I've read through every page of several issues; and no where and I do mean no where does the word "Marvel" exist.  Every front cover of every magazine has the word "Curtis" printed on it.  Furthermore every copyright notice in every issue says and I quote; verbatim:
The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu is published by MAGAZINE MANAGEMENT CO. INC., OFFICE OF PUBLICATION, 575 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022.  Published Bi-Monthly.  Copyright [Year] by MAGAZINE MANAGEMENT CO., INC., A Division of Cadence Industries Corportion.  All rights reserved 575 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022.  All business inquiries should be addressed to Circulation Director JOHN RYAN 6th floor. Vol. 1, No. [#] [Month, Year] issue.  Price [.75] per copy in the U.S. and Canada.  No similarity between any of the names, characters, persons and/or institutions in this magazine with those of any living or dead person or institution is inteded and any such similarity which may exist is purely coincidental.  Printed in the U.S.A.
(The only difference between the above from issue to issue is the information contained in brackets as this changed from issue to issue).
I am using the magazines themselves are sources for the information no matter what some database somewhere says.  The only fact that I concede to is that Curtis was indeed an imprint of Marvel Comics and that it was short lived; which the article clearly states.  Furthermore the magazine only existed within the context of the "Curtis" name.  In other words "Curtis" existed atleast as long as the duration of the entire magazine run.  As for people reading the infobox prior to the article itself is:
*A. Your opinion
*B. You speculation
You cannot know for certain that every Wiki reader reads the infobox first.  We do not write articles based on opinions and/or speculations.  If you can demonstrate "verse and chapter" of the word "Marvel" appearing on any Deadly Hands of Kung Fu magazines I will verify this information and perhaps modify the information in the article accordingly.  Thank you for your time.
BTW: If you click on the "External Links" this will take you to the magazine covers gallery wich contains every cover and you can see that "Curtis" and not "Marvel" appears on each and every cover; just in case you don't actually have the magazines themselves.

message: I appreciate the extended analysis, but I think the initial description of the culture and fad of Kung Fu in the 70's is sufficient with the description of the popularity of Chopsocky movies. Phrases like "everyone was" and "shaking their booty" aren't really necessary.

message: In the nearly a year and a half since our disagreement and my requested third party opinion relevant thereto went incomprehensibly against me, there has been a consensus reached across the articles about these magazines against your position. See Savage Tales, Savage Sword of Conan, Rampaging Hulk and even Curtis Magazines itself, among others. Many editors, unlike you and DRosenbach (the third opinion supplier, who in the end admitted that he knew and cared nothing about these magazines, effectively declaring himself unqualified to form an opinion here, as dispute resolutions need to deal with the facts of the subject, not with only what Wiki-regs say), care about the reality of the situation, rather than just the legal fine print that is contradicted by a large quantity of blatantly presented evidence to the contrary elsewhere in the same issues. I repeat, a consensus against your position has been reached, hence the alterations to this article that you found and have just reverted (*I* didn't do them). I am therefore undoing you here. --Ted Watson (talk) 21:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
