Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter #2 is an issue of the series Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter (Volume 1) with a cover date of July, 1975.
Synopsis for "A Dragon Fights Alone!"
The O-Sensei, having taught Richard Dragon and Ben Turner for six years, releases them to discover their own destinies. En route to New York City, they meet Carolyn Woosan, a god-daughter of the O'Sensei, who plans to attend college there. Turner and Dragon fend off a kidnap attempt and decide to keep Carolyn with them until they figure out who is behind it.
The answer lies in San Francisco: Carolyn's uncle is a weapons designer on the run from his employer, whose illegal activities he has discovered. The uncle is tracked down and murdered by a sadistic white-suited killer known as the Swiss. The Swiss incorrectly assumes the uncle had shared valuable information with Carolyn.
Dragon has a luxury compound hidden in lower Manhattan; his estranged father was a diplomat who left him financially secure. Thugs led by Pretty Face invade the compound and succeed in kidnapping Carolyn. Turner suffers a broken leg.
Dragon defeats Pretty Face and persuades him to give The Swiss' address. He invades the Swiss' hideout, frees her, and defeats more of the Swiss' henchmen.
