Comments – It this book were being published today, there would have been at least a year of foreshadowing before Karate Kid would have decided to stay in the 20 century. Instead, this just came out of the blue. “Hey, kids like karate. We have a character named Karate Kid who does super-karate. Let’s put him in a solo book.”
