Most Chinese have read or watched at least one of Louis Cha's wuxia novels or a screen adaptation. Now fans seemingly have one more option: to enjoy his martial arts world in the form of comics.

Phoenix Entertainment, a newly-established subsidiary of the Hong Kong broadcaster Phoenix TV, announced recently that it has obtained the adaptation rights of all of Cha's 15 wuxia novels and the right to develop related merchandise.

Zhang Jiayun, CEO of Phoenix Entertainment, reveals Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano and Common Corporation, who was behind Japan's hit manga series Ghost in the Shell, will take part in the adaptation.
