Newton Comics' The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #4 is cover-dated August 1976:
The cover is from Marvel Comics' The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #8:
The comics contents are as follows:
A Different Lesson in Blood Unchanged!, originally published in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #11, April 1975
Gladiators in the Crypt of Tomorrow, originally published in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #11, April 1975
Blood of the Golden Dragon, originally published in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #12, May 1975

Included is the non-comics feature The Man with the Golden Gun Shoots Blanks, originally published in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #12, May 1975
Slotting in between The Man with the Golden Gun Shoots Blanks and The Crack of the Whip is this single-page pin-up page of The Silver Surfer:
This image is from the splash page of The Origin of the Silver Surfer! previously published by Newton Comics in The Silver Surfer #1:
This issue includes the following in-house advertisements:
Dracula #NN [15]
These ads promote issues published in the August 1976 relaunch of Newton Comics. The Dracula cover is a pre-production image, likely intended for Dracula #14, and eventually turned up on the final Dracula issue much later. As per the other issues in this period, The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #4 includes the second version of the Captain America bulletin:
This issue also has the t-shirt offer and the Camera Contest as per the other August 1976 issues. My copy does not include a Free King Size Super-Hero Poster.
I have guesstimated the publication date as 28 August 1976.
