A nonstop laugh riot all the way, “Big Trouble In Little China” #1 is an entertaining read that always delivers the kung-fu action and comic relief. Even though the ’80s are over, Jack Burton, the goofball action hero, continues to be a timeless treasure. This is the sequel to John Carpenter’s cult classic that I’ve been waiting for.

Although Carpenter has worked in numerous film genres, he is most commonly associated with horror and science fiction films from the 1970s and 1980s.
