  1. A Look Back at Street Fighter #1 (1993)

    Welcome back, superhero fans, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Street Fighter fans, retro gamers, Malibu Comics enthusiasts and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1993 to examine the official comic book adaptation of the wildly popular video game Street Fighter II.

    While the original Street Fighter game of 1987 did not achieve huge success in the arcades and on consoles, it literally started the ball rolling for Capcom as the game itself influence other arcade game developers to focus more on making beat-them-up games and the use of special moves appealed to others. Capcom went on to release Street Fighter II in the arcades and it came with a dedicated fighting game design that strongly lured in gamers to play it in huge numbers. After selling 200,000 arcade cabinets, SFII went on to become a huge seller on game consoles. Capcom even went on to produce new versions of the game – popularly referred to as upgrades – culminating with Super Street Fighter II Turbo in 1994.

    As Street Fighter II kept on attracting countless players into the arcades worldwide, Capcom approached Malibu Comics (publisher of the Ultraverse).

    “Capcom came to Malibu because we know how to do it—we’ve handled licensed properties before and done very well,” said Tom Mason in the opening message of the first issue of the Street Fighter comic book adaptation.

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at Street Fighter 1, published by Malibu Comics in 1993 with a story written by the late Len Strazewski and drawn by Don Hillsman. This was the first issue of a planned mini-series.

    The cover.

    Early story

    The story begins some time in the past when Ryu permanently scars Sagat on the chest with his Dragon Punch during street fight in front of many. Enraged, Sagat tries hard to retaliate against Ryu who happens to be the champion among street fighters. The Japanese fighter hits the tall Thai kickboxer with a barrage of kicks.

    The past fight was played on home video and viewed by Sagat and Balrog. Embarrassed by the video, Sagat destroys the TV and asked his companion why must he be humiliated. After Balrog tells him not to talk that tone with their superior Bison, Sagat hits the American boxer. As the fight between the two intensifies, Bison arrives and stops the violence. He tells Sagat that he is an embarrassment to his organization.

    Bison reminds them that he took them into his criminal network and still have not redeemed themselves in front of him. He tells the two that they must beat Ryu and regain the street fighter championship.

    As Balrog and Sagat express difficulty in finding and fighting Ryu, Bison tells them the Japanese fighter’s friends are Chun Li and Ken…

    Quality

    Once a dedicated, well-trained martial arts competitor, Ken Masters has been doing his moves in productions of commercials. He does not enjoy the product he endorsed.

    Back in 1993, I even contemplated buying a copy of this comic book locally when it was brand new. I’m glad I chose not to buy it back then as this one has bad quality in its presentation from start to finish. Dedicated Street Fighter II fans should be warned.

    For starters, the storytelling is not faithful to the lore of Street Fighter II even though the creators derived key elements of characters from the game itself. That said, it looks like liberties were taken in order to form a narrative that can be told in comic book format.

    Chun Li here is correctly described as an agent of Interpol and is motivated by revenge over the loss of her father who was killed by M. Bison. And yet, she is portrayed here as having a romantic relationship with Ryu and has been training with him along with Ken in the past. The romantic relationship between the two never existed in the popular video game and it is established in Street Fighter II lore that Chun Li came from a different martial arts background while Ken and Ryu trained together under the same master.

    Contrary to what was established in Street Fighter II lore, Ken and Chun Li were portrayed as having trained together and have romance with each other.

    Ryu in this comic book is the defending street fighter champion (reflecting the canonical story of Street Fighter and Street Fighter II) who is responsible for the huge scar on Sagat’s chest. While Ryu is the wandering warrior who travels around the world with only a duffel bag as he seeks the true way of the fighter, in this adaptation he is a reigning champion who starts having doubts when Chun Li lectures him over his devotion to fighting as life changes for others around him.

    While the liberties are notable and could be insulting to dedicated Street Fighter II fans, the story of this comic book is surprisingly readable. As Ryu is the target of Bison and his criminal network, it made sense for dangerous pawns Sagat and Balrog to go after Ken to get to the Japanese fighter. There definitely is a plot here and if readers can ignore the actual lore of Street Fighter II, it can be followed and the classic concept of good versus evil will be realized.

    As for the art, the work done by Don Hillsman is lackluster. While he excelled in making Balrog look scary early in the story, his visual takes on the other Street Fighter II characters range from bad to passable. Ken, Ryu, Sagat, Bison, Vega and Chun Li all have that rough look on their faces and bodies. Hillsman even tried to emulate special moves from the game but ended up looking sub-par. Lackluster artworks like these only add to the perception of the fans and other people obsessed with Japanese culture and the arts that Western illustrators should not draw Street Fighter characters.

    Conclusion

    Balrog on the offensive against Ken.

    I am glad that I never bought Street Fighter #1 (1993) brand new decades ago. Its quality is really bad and clearly it has not aged well. Street Fighter fans – especially those obsessed with Street Fighter II games – should look elsewhere to enjoy the tale and concepts of Street Fighter II. This comic book from Malibu Comics is a creative failure and was the start of the eventual collapse of the publishing deal made with Capcom. Can you just imagine the shock the Capcom executives had when they first read this comic book? Ultimately, this comic book adaption was creative catastrophe which is a shame because Malibu Comics had a good record of licensed projects and the late Strazewski (died on April 27, 2026) was one of the finest writers and creators on the Ultraverse line of comic books.

    The first half of the message about the Street Fighter II adaptation and the deal between Capcom and Malibu Comics. The 2nd half of the message. The Capcom-Malibu deal and the production of this adaptation started in mid-1992. Street Fighter II was already dominating the arcades at the time.

    Overall, Street Fighter #1 (1993) should be avoided.

  7. Until Sen. Bernie Sanders began holding rallies in Republican-held districts to address DOGE’s destructive impact on federal workers and programs,
    most progressives had not dared to dream of rural America as fertile ground for a backlash.
    But it’s central to the concept of the "Rural Urban Bridge Initiative" ( #RUBI ),
    a group determined to breathe new life into rural organizing strategies.

    Conceived in early 2020 by
    #Anthony #Flaccavento, a small farmer, former Democratic congressional candidate,
    and community organizer in southern Virginia, and
    #Erica #Etelson,
    a political writer and former public-interest attorney based in California,
    -- RUBI is kindling a new way to approach -- and ultimately advance -- rural concerns within the progressive movement.

    Through training sessions,
    reports from local experts,
    policy development,
    and traditional volunteer work,
    RUBI hopes to #depolarize rural politics and persuade other activist groups to #engage in good faith with the needs, fears, and aspirations of rural communities.

    RUBI’s most prominent effort to date is its campaign to convince the "Democratic National Committee" and the broader fundraising network on the left
    👉to devote substantially more resources to rural causes.

    Since #Ken #Martin, chair of the "Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party",
    was elected in February to head the DNC,
    RUBI has lobbied him to allocate $400 million
    —10 percent of the Democratic ad buy for the 2024 general election
    —toward rural districts and candidates.

    Although RUBI has yet to secure Martin’s commitment,
    co-signatories to the public letter include Rep. #Ro #Khanna (D-CA),
    author and sociologist #Arlie #Hochschild,
    veteran Texas populist #Jim #Hightower,
    two state party chairs
    and dozens of county committees,
    and scores of other individuals and organizations
    alarmed by Democratic decline in rural areas.

    ✅ Rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.

    Regardless of the DNC’s final decision,
    the campaign testifies to the perseverance of rural progressive populism.

    It reflects, too, a growing recognition on the part of local groups committed to the welfare of rural workers
    -- that they are not isolated in their anger over how national Democrats have burned through billions of dollars in the last several election cycles without improving their position in a single “purple” state.

    🆘During Barack Obama’s presidency, Democrats lost well over a thousand congressional, statewide, and local down-ballot offices.

    Tentative gains in critical presidential swing states since 2018 have been largely offset by Trump’s comeback;
    -- He won all seven in November.

    Other states where Democrats used to be competitive across the board,
    such as Florida and Ohio,
    are poised to go the way of Missouri, Indiana, and Arkansas.

    A recent study from the "Carsey School of Public Policy" at the University of New Hampshire suggests that
    💯a shift among rural voters to Kamala Harris of just 3 percent could have led her to victory over Donald Trump.

    👍If even just a few dozen rural Democrats from the South and Midwest won back offices controlled by the GOP,
    there could be a tectonic shift in how the party competes at the gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential levels.

    As RUBI’s founders know well,
    it is a herculean task just to get the party elite to admit the main facts
    —that austerity, trade shocks, and monopoly power have distressed rural America
    —much less own their own culpability in these issues.

    But although it is tempting to place all the blame on party elites, the same, unfortunately, can often be said of the major progressive groups that have cropped up since the Bush years,
    Flaccavento argues. 

    The overriding focus,
    he says, on
    “call[ing] out how horrible the Republicans are 24/7”
    has left little energy to discuss what matters to rural folks:
    👉“jobs, employment, the economy, livelihoods, manufacturing, trade policy, [and] antitrust.”

    🔥This, then, is how rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics:

    not through conferences, white papers, and viral media,

    ⭐️but by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.

  9. Mike Johnson’s groveling meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday:

    It was a deeply weird affair. With Trump hovering watchfully over Johnson, the House Speaker said that in campaigning, he’s discovered that people across the country just happen to be thoroughly obsessed with precisely the same thing that preoccupies Trump.

    “Everywhere we go, one of the first questions that people ask about is this issue of #election #integrity,” Johnson said.

    The GOP remains as committed as ever to their disturbing post-insurrection denial path.

    At least a dozen Republican incumbents or prominent candidates in competitive races are tainted with #election #denialism, some of it extremely serious or even #deranged.

    These include representatives like #Scott #Perry of Pennsylvania, who was extensively involved in Trump’s coup, #Anna #Paulina #Luna of Florida, who co-wrote a children’s book falsely depicting the 2020 election as stolen, and #Derrick #Van #Orden of Wisconsin, who attended the Capitol rally on January 6.

    Meanwhile, GOP Representatives #Mike #Garcia and #Ken #Calvert of California, and #David #Schweikert of Arizona, all voted not to certify Biden’s electors.

    Representative #Jen #Kiggans of Virginia repeatedly fed doubts about the 2020 outcome.

    Democrats view all these as key targets.

    Then there are election-denying GOP candidates in other top-tier races, such as #Scott #Baugh in California, who refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory, #Joe #Kent in Washington State, who called for the rioters to be pardoned, and #Mayra #Flores in Texas, who spread crackpot January 6th conspiracy theories. That’s only a partial list.

    Could this factor help tip the balance of the House? It’s not all that far-fetched a possibility.

    Dave Wasserman, senior editor and elections analyst at Cook Political Report, suggests keeping an eye on the GOP primary underway in the district of Representative #Lauren #Boebert (who is running in another district).
    That pits wild-eyed election denier #Ron #Hanks against a saner opponent.
    If Hanks wins, Democrats have a “very good chance” of winning Boebert’s seat, Wasserman says.

    The upshot? As Wasserman notes, election denialism might end up mattering in only a limited number of races.

    But, he adds, “the margin in the House is so close right now that even things like that could affect the outcome.”
