Chinese Hero (Volume 1-4) Set: Tales Of The Blood Sword

by Wing Shing Ma

As a child, Hero's family was attacked and killed by a practitioner of Northern Mantis kung fu. This assassin was tasked, by the affluent head of a local triad, to retrieve Hero's family heirloom - the legendary Blood Sword. Barely escaping with his life, Hero has now reached adulthood, and mastered several forms of kung fu to aid him in his sole, lifelong endeavor to safeguard the family treasure. But now his enemies turn their gaze to his newborn son! The tales of Blood Sword begin here! One of the most intricately woven action adventure stories ever told returns, completely remastered and digitally rendered. Artistry wizard Wing Shing Ma's (Storm Riders) meticulous illustrations erupt with mind-bending, kung fu action, nearly identical to the best Hong Kong action sequences.
