John Chinaman tries to lead a peaceful life logging in Blue Hill while his companion Ada runs the local schoolhouse, both uncertain about starting a family. With the repercussions of the Chinese Exclusion Act sweeping the land, the townspeople aren't exactly warming to the mixed-race couple-especially when more Chinese immigrants looking for a home show up. But Chinaman's past isn't done with him yet.
When the master of a San Francisco martial arts school sets out with his best students to challenge him, the various hostile factions meet head-on. Will John and Ada's love survive the explosive violence?

À propos des auteurs

Serge Le Tendre was born in Vincennes on the 1st of December, 1946, and discovered in the '70s, after a few small illustration jobs, that he was definitely better at scriptwriting than illustrating. So he abandoned the career he had always dreamed about to start producing scripts for magazines such as Pilote, Antirouille, Fluide Glaciale, Métal Hurlant, Formule 1, Fripounet, and Circus, taking advantage of the drawing skills of Dominique Hé, Annie Goetzinger, Alain Voss, Michel Rouge, Loisel, Max Cabanes, Michel Blanc-Dumont and many others to improve his own craft and style.
This long apprenticeship began to bear fruit in the '80s with "La Quête de l'oiseau du temps" (Dargaud; "The Quest for the Time Bird, " Titan) illustrated by Loisel; an opportunity to collaborate on the first episodes of "Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche" with Makyo and Dodier; the series "Errances de Julius Antoine" for Christian Rossi; and finally "Takuan" with Emiliano Simeoni, and then TaDuc, with whom he subsequently created the series "Chinaman, " published first by Humanos and then by Dupuis (Europe Comics in English 2017).
At the same time, this prolific and versatile scriptwriter pursued his forays into any and all magazines he could: Frilouz, Chic, Astrapi, Je Bouquine, I Love English, etc. He would go on to create the long saga "Taï-Dor" alongside Rodolphe and Serrano (published by Novedi and Vents d'Ouest), and was included in the prestigious Aire Libre collection in 1992 with "L'Oiseau noir, " illustrated by Jean-Paul Dethorey.
More recently, the author has put out such acclaimed series as "Griffe Blanche, " a trilogy published by Dargaud ("White Claw, " Europe Comics 2018), and "Le Projet Bleiberg, " also with Dargaud ("The Bleiberg Project, " Europe Comics 2017), alongside artist Frédéric Peynet. After "La Gloire d'Héra" (Dargaud, 2011) and "Tirésias" (Dargaud, 2011), Le Tendre decides to work on another Greek tragedy and teams up with Peynet to create "Pygmalion" (Dargaud, 2022; Europe Comics in English). Olivier TaDuc was born in Perreux-sur-Marne on March 5th, 1962.
He is a Frenchman of Vietnamese origin, which explains the central capital in his name. He started off studying medicine but changed before long to a fine arts curriculum, and soon met Dieter, who wrote several scripts for him for complete stories with the magazine Triolo ('La Forêt de Nouhaud, ' starting in 1986). Another of his earliest works was 'La Légende du porteur d'eau' (1987), commissioned by the Syndicat des Eaux de France. Collaborating with Dieter, he then began work on the historical saga 'Sark, ' with publisher Glénat.
His next work was then for Delcourt, where he completed the three final volumes of 'Les Voyages de Takuan, ' written by Serge Le Tendre. Le Tendre, attracted by this artist with an increasingly original style and who manages to produce an album every year, suggested they create a series together on a theme of his choice. TaDuc expressed a wish to combine his two preferred subjects, westerns and martial arts, which led to the idea of developing a Chinese character who participates in the conquest of the American West, revealing several of the less-than-glorious aspects of the time. Having researched the subject of Chinese immigrants in California, Le Tendre's enthusiasm grew for this subject that was so full of dramatic elements that had hardly ever been used before.
The first 'Chinaman' adventure appeared in 1997 with Humanoïdes Associés. A bit out of place in this publisher's futuristic magazine, the fifth title of this remarkable historical recreation was passed to Dupuis in 2001 along with the four preceding titles and all of the volumes still to come (the series was re-released in English in 2017 by Europe Comics). In 2013, the pair of authors then joined forces once more to create the series 'Griffe blanche' (Dargaud; 'White Claw, ' Europe Comics 2018), a fantasy adventure trilogy.
TaDuc has developed a style that has established him as one of the great realistic masters alongside Jijé, Giraud, and Hermann. He has given us a new perspective on life in the Far West, portraying the daily struggle of the common people who lived the legend.
