Tiger and Crane

Tiger and Crane, a three-issue series from Bluewater Productions (and its later imprints Storm, Stormfront, and Tidalwave), launched in 2008 as a superhero team-up comic. The story pairs the mystical martial artist Tiger with the technologically enhanced Crane, blending Eastern mythology with modern action. While short-lived, the series stands out as a modest but earnest attempt by an independent publisher to carve a space for original, non-licensed superheroes in the post-Image boom era.
