Broken Frontier

New graphic novel publisher – DrMaster Publications Inc in collaboration with DGN Production Inc, will revive and continue the recent collaborative work of Tony Wong and Andy Seto’s beautifully illustrated The Four Constables!

The wait is over!!! Now revisit the turbulent and hegemonic Sung Dynasty with its martial art sleuths – The Four Contables, as they unravel the intricate decades-long mystery surrounding the 13 masked murders. DrMaster, picks up right where the previous publisher left off with volume #4. Here’s what martial art fans have been waiting for…

Vol. #4: With the aide of Emotionless, Iron Hands barely defeats the suicidal Sima. Now the four imperial constables are holding the kung fu fighting sadist captive to lure out the leader of the 13 masked killers. However, the seemingly unstoppable mastermind has since eluded Cold-Blooded, Life-Snatcher and the rest. All clues point to a high-ranking official with traitorous intent. Yet, when this official is found near death---an obvious victim of the 13—suspicions vanish.  Still, the incident does point Master Shuge to the truth. Has this revelation come too late? If not, are the Four Constable and their exalted master skilled enough to take down this cunning killer, who lurks in familiar shadows? Also the Four Great Houses of kung fu enter the fray. With whom will they side? Or, might their intentions be more sinister?

When it comes to creative team-ups, you can't get more impressive than comic giant Tony Wong (Weapons of the Gods, Oriental Heroes) locking pencils with rising star - Andy Seto (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Shaolin Soccer).  They have come together to produce the comic adaptation of The 4 Imperial Constables - the critically acclaimed novel by Wen Rui-An. Wen’s literary works jump-started today's kung fu hysteria nearly 40 years ago.

Story Synopsis:
Four of China's supremely skilled assassin/detectives serve only their Master Zhuge Zhen-Wo - The Little Flower, who in turn is head bodyguard and advisor for China's all-powerful Emperor.  Yet the Constables' reputation strongly precedes them. Wu Chen - The Emotionless Cripple is a master of weapons and devices. Tie Sho - The Iron Hand possesses incredible chi and can stop the sharpest blades with his bare hands. Zhue-Min - The Life Snatcher is highly skilled in light-foot granting him undaunted legwork and kicks. Lastly Len Hsueh - The Cold Blooded was raised by wolves and has since learned to convert his pain into strength - enabling him to defeat opponents much stronger than himself. Each of them is entrusted by the Emperor with the power to arrest and execute any corrupt officials or lawless criminals within the Chinese Empire.

These Imperial Constables act as protectors. With their venerable skill as kung fu practitioners and meticulous sleuths, they root out potential usurpers and discern the cause of many strange occurrences during Sung Dynasty! Before Agatha Christie, Dick Tracy, or even Sherlock Holmes, the game was afoot in ancient China!
