About the series
Inspired by the Wu-Tang Clan's fusion of martial arts mythology and hip-hop, The Nine Rings of Wu-Tang is a five-issue series from Image Comics that ran from 1999 to 2000. Written primarily by Aaron Bullock and Brian Haberlin, with Clayton Henry on art, the story follows a young man who inherits an ancient ring and discovers his destiny as the last in a line of warriors. Blending street-level grit with mystical kung-fu lore, the series stands as a unique artifact of its era, channeling the group's iconic aesthetic into a full-fledged comic book saga.
