Origins of Marvel Comics mail order offer

The issue is rounded out with a two-page Marvel Mailbag spread, a subscription page, a t-shirt offer and a contest with the expiry date 21 February 1976.

The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1 was published 20 December 1975. Assuming the intended monthly schedule was adhered to despite the disruptions during this period, my guesstimate for the most likely publication date for this issue is 24 January 1976.
