Kwai Chen

Stepping out of the Italian comics tradition that Sergio Bonelli Editore built its legendary reputation on, Kwai Chen made their debut in Nathan Never #3 back in 1991 — right at the dawn of what would become one of Italy's most celebrated science-fiction series. Created by Bepi Vigna and Stefano Casini, this character has kept remarkable company over the years, sharing pages with Nathan Never himself, Legs Weaver, and a cast of vivid recurring figures across nearly three decades of storytelling. Appearing across Nathan Never, Nathan Never Rinascita, and Collana Almanacchi, Kwai Chen is a genuine piece of the rich, sprawling universe that made Bonelli's futuristic noir such a beloved corner of European comics — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader who dives deep into the run.
