About the Author:

They have come together to produce the comic adaptation of The Four Imperial Constables, the critically-acclaimed novel by Wen Rui-An.

Although of Chinese descent Wen Rui-An was born in Malaysia. He published his first literary piece when he was only nine years old and organized his own literary group when he was barely twenty. He had completed more than 200 fiction and nonfiction literary pieces before he was thirty. His forty-nine martial arts series have been published under Wang-Sheng Pub. The novels mainly deal with the final years of the Northern Sung Dynasty (ca. 1100 A.D.) under Emperor Huei.
