The World Warriors Return To Their Roots With Street Fighter Gaiden

Street Fighter AlphaIt’s time for more fast-flying Hadokens, jaw-breaking Cannon Spikes, and earth shattering Sonic Booms as the gang at Udon brings you another never-before translated Street Fighter manga series straight from Japan. This November Udon returns to the most classic of all fighting game eras with Street Fighter Gaiden, a 2-volume manga series featuring the classic cast of Street Fighter II.

Written and drawn by Mami Itou (Darkstalkers/Red Earth, Robot, Pilgrim Jäger), Street Fighter Gaiden spotlights the World Warriors’ adventures outside the tournament scene. The series is made up of short stories each devoted to a classic Street Fighter character. Fan-favorites like Ryu, Ken, Chun-li, and Guile each get their due, as do many other skilled fighters. Cammy teams up with Delta Red against the narcisitic Vega, T. Hawk has a desert showdown with Balrog, Fei-Long teaches everyone what it truly means to be a martial artist, and Ryu & Ken face off together against their deadliest rival – Akuma.

Street Fighter Gaiden Vol.1 goes on sales at comic shops and book stores everywhere November 24, 2010. Street Fighter Gaiden Vol.2 will follow in January 2011.
