About the series
Based on the hit video game, this 1991 Marvel miniseries follows martial-arts brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee as they battle the sinister Shadow Boss and his army across a post-apocalyptic city. The six-issue run, written primarily by Dwayne McDuffie, Tom Brevoort, and Mike Kanterovich, with art by Sal Velluto, Steven Butler, and Tom Raney, expands the game’s brawling action into a full-fledged comic adventure. It’s a fondly remembered tie-in that captures the era’s arcade-to-comics trend with energetic fight scenes and a dash of early-90s attitude.
