* Dr. Fu Manchu made his first comic book appearance in ''[[Detective Comics]]'' #17 and continued, as one feature among many in the anthology series, until #28. These were reprints of the earlier Leo O'Mealia strips. In 1943, the serial ''[[Drums of Fu Manchu]]'' was adapted by Spanish comic artist José Grau Hernández in 1943.<ref>{{cite book |last=Porcel Torrens |first=Pedro |title=La historia del tebeo valenciano |year=2002 |publisher=Edicions de Ponent |language=es |isbn=84-89929-38-6|pages=47–55, 69}}</ref> Original Dr. Fu Manchu stories in comics had to wait for [[Avon Comics|Avon]]'s one-shot ''The Mask of Dr. Fu Manchu'' in 1951 by [[Wally Wood]].<ref name="comics"/> Fleetway published an adaptation of ''The Island of Fu Manchu'' in 1956 through their "pocket library" title ''Super Detective Library'' #9.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-10-02 |title=Super Detective Library |url=https://britishcomics.wordpress.com/2016/10/02/super-detective-library/ |access-date=2022-12-20 |website=British Comics |language=en}}</ref>
* In the 1970s, [[Zheng Zu|Dr. Fu Manchu]] appeared as the father of the superhero [[Shang-Chi]] in the [[Marvel Comics]] series ''[[Master of Kung Fu (comics)|Master of Kung Fu]].''<ref name="comics"/> However, [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] cancelled the book in 1983 and issues over licensing the character and concepts from the novels (such as his daughter Fah Lo Suee and adversaries Sir Denis Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie) have hampered Marvel's ability to both collect the series in trade paperback format and reference Dr. Fu Manchu as Shang-Chi's father. As such, the character is either never mentioned by name, or by an alias (such as "Mr. Han").<ref>''Black Panther'' (vol. 4) #11</ref> In ''Secret Avengers'' #6–10, writer [[Ed Brubaker]] officially sidestepped the entire issue via a storyline where the [[Shadow Council]] resurrect a zombified version of Dr. Fu Manchu, only to discover that "Dr. Fu Manchu" was only an alias; that Shang-Chi's father was really Zheng Zu, an ancient Chinese sorcerer who discovered the secret to immortality.<ref>{{cite web|last=Richards |first=Dave |url=https://www.cbr.com/benson-unleashes-shang-chis-deadly-hands-of-kung-fu/ |title=Benson Unleashes Shang-Chi's "Deadly Hands of Kung Fu" |work=Comic Book Resources |date=4 April 2014 |access-date=2019-09-10}}</ref> Later, Fah Lo Suee was renamed [[Zheng Bao Yu]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Shang-Chi Comics Explained: Where The Next MCU Movie Came From|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shang-chi-comics-explained-where-the-next-mcu-movie-came-from/1100-6495745/|access-date=2021-09-03|website=GameSpot|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":0"/><ref>{{Cite web|last=Young|first=Aaron|date=2021-05-06|title=These Are Shang-Chi's Biggest Foes|url=https://www.looper.com/402132/these-are-shang-chis-biggest-foes/|access-date=2021-09-03|website=Looper.com|language=en-US}}</ref>
* Dr. Fu Manchu appears as an antagonist in [[Alan Moore]]'s ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]''. Simply called "the Doctor", he is the first to steal the [[Cavorite]] that the League is sent to retrieve. He is apparently killed in the climactic battle with [[Professor Moriarty]].
* Fu Manchu makes a cameo appearance in an issue of the ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' web comics. In the comics, Fu Manchu is a spy and one of nine mercenaries hired at some point in the 1850s by twins Redmond and Blutarch Mann to fight in the "Gravel War", a conflict about the lands in New Mexico owned by the brothers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Team Fortress - Catch-Up Comic |url=https://www.teamfortress.com/catchup/#f=9 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=www.teamfortress.com}}</ref>
