Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 11, 2018 Member Share Posted March 11, 2018 Have This one in my collection, picked it up a while back and I really enjoyed it. When you read White Crane you feel like its a Kung Fu Movie on paper. There was a three year span or so I focused on reading Martial arts graphic novels or comic issues. While I still collected Movies, I felt reading was another world that enriched the genre for me. I picked up back issues and finally got around reading the ones I've had on the shelves for years. I picked up new stories like Shaolin Burning, Swordsmith Assasin, Madam Samurai and Pang the Wondering Shaolin monk, but one of the best stories I read was Felix Ip's Blood and Steel , this was action packed wushu. It would be good to have a thread as a guide to some of the best of these graphic novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member whitesnake Posted March 12, 2018 Member Share Posted March 12, 2018 White Crane - the art looks good. I'll probably order Vol.1 from Amazon along with my next order of Blu-rays. Vol.2 may be a long time coming. The Indiegogo campaign for funding for Vol.2 closed with only 2% raised of the requested £5,000 needed for publication. The home page - http://www.thewhitecranecomic.com/ - has a link to redbubble for some nice t-shirts shirts and wall art from White Crane. https://www.redbubble.com/people/kungfushop Maybe they'll get enough funding for Vol.2 by selling the apparel and wall art. I like the idea of a martial arts graphic novel thread. There are a few I'd highly recommend and a few to diss. And other recommendations are always appreciated.

You guys sound like the right people to get such a thread going. While I'm no collector or expert on graphic novels, it would be interesting to learn more about the subject.
