The outlaws featured in this comic edition were fugitives in the eyes of the law, but heroes in their own right. For instance, Tiger-slayer Wu Song killed his adulterous sister-in-law because she had poisoned his brother. And Song Jiang, a clerk in the magistrate's court, was forced to kill his frivolous young wife, to prevent her from exposing his ties with the other outlaws at Liangshan Marsh. Tsai Chih Chung has spiced up each episode with a whacky sense of humor, making this comic a delight. /// This is a great product sourced from BIML - Bible In My Language, the leader in foreign language Bibles and outreach materials from Baltimore, Maryland in the USA.
