Abe Brown is a martial artist in the Marvel Comics universe.
The character, created by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin, first appeared in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1 in April 1974.
Within the context of the stories, Abe Brown, along with Bob Diamond and Lin Sun, is one of the most skilled students attending the martial arts school run by sensei Master Kee. Kee gives each of the three students a jade talisman in the shape of a tiger's head and forepaws when he sustains mortal injuries due to an attack by a group of ninja terrorists. As the Sons of the Tiger, the three martial artists avenge their master's death, and become a group of adventurers.
Abe meets a private detective named Nathaniel Byrd, also known as Blackbyrd. Abe helps Blackbyrd stop a plan by the Caxon Oil Company to exchange black market firearms for illegal plutonium. Blackbyrd later contacts the Sons to help investigate reported atrocities at the New Troy State Prison.
Bob Diamond is involved romantically with a woman named Lotus Shinchuko, who joins with the Sons. When Bob gets into a fight over her with Lin Sun, Abe leaves the team. Realizing the Sons can not be a viable team, they broke up. Abe remains with Lin Sun and Lotus at the martial arts school.
Abe Brown is the brother of Hobie Brown, the Prowler.

“Willie couldn’t steal a vote from Abe Lincoln in the cradle of the Confederacy.”
—Robert Rossen (1908–1966)
“We gave ‘em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave ‘em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, don’t you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
