The ORIGINAL Female Street Fighter!

Before Chun-Li, Cammy, and the rest hit the video arcades in 1987, there was Li Koryu, aka Tina Long, the Sister Street Fighter!
We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ are proud to return her to action as part of our Pop Art Martial Arts™ collection, along with the original Street Fighter who thrilled grindhouse audiences, and several other martial arts classics, including Five Fingers of Death, and Infra-Man on kool kollectibles ranging from t-shirts to mugs to messenger bags!
(BTW, you'll note that the SSF poster art is by comic book legend Neal Adams [X-Men, Batman, Green Lantern / Green Arrow]!)

Note: A protege of Sonny Chiba and member of his Japan Action Club stunt team, Sue Shiomi aka Etsuko Shihomi, starred in a number of genre films in the 1970s including four Sister Street Fighter films as well as all three of the original Street Fighter series starring Chiba!
We'll be covering her in an installment of Fantastic Femmes this week...
