Drunken Fist

    (Jademan, 1988-1993)
™ and © Jademan

The Drunken Fist is a gentle form of Chinese martial arts capable of overcoming other harder styles. Of particular interest to the creative team behind the book of the same name, Mike Baron and Tony Wong introduce the form to an American audience.

In the story’s first issue, the living reincarnation of the Buddha Dalai Lama is born and, after being hunted by several villains, taken captive by the evil Indian Lama. Wong Mo Gei, Chek Fai and Drunken Kid fail in their mission to protect the Spiritual Child and set out to redeem themselves. Six years later, the child runs away from his captor, but seems to find greater trouble—he stumbles across the ruthless soldiers of the Eternal Clan. Luckily, Chek Fai appears to challenge the would-be kidnappers.

Attempting to capitalize on the red-hot martial arts market, Drunken Fist falls short of hitting the mark. While the fight sequences are illustrated so as to accentuate the action, flow through the story’s panels is illogical and confusing, leaving readers with the sense that something was lost in the translation.
