The year is 1936, the eve of World War II. The Queen of England enlists Cheng Bo Sen, a frenetic Hong Kong cop, to stop the Nazis from implementing a nefarious secret weapon that will overpower the world. This action-comedy is packed with kung fu, spectacular gun battles, spy intrigue, and hip-hop! Gun Fu is a combination of James Bond, Indiana Jones, Dirty Harry, Bruce Lee, Dave Chapelle, and super-intense Hong Kong action movies.
The first story appeared in the one-shot Gun Fu #1. The follow-up is the four-issue series "Gun Fu: The Lost City". In the new miniseries, England finds out that the Nazis are searching for a lost city rumored to be filled with treasure in the jungles of South America. The Queen sends Cheng and archaeology professor Dr. Eleanor Dumple to see if there truly is a lost city and to stop the Nazis' nefarious plans. On the prowl in the jungle is a beautiful and mysterious Jaguar Girl. Other dangers dwell in the jungle as well as evil secret Nazi experiments.

J. Scott Campbell, Artist and Creator of Danger Girl says, "Gun Fu is an explosive blend of the best films of John Woo, 007 and Indiana Jones with a wonderful graphic style, similar to some of the very best from the Cartoon Network. A tremendously fun read. I wish I had thought of this!"
