Nuozha is widely regarded as one of the defining works of the golden age of Taiwanese comics. Distinguished by its dark visual style and fantasy-driven narrative, the story follows Thih-Hui Li, a youth who bears the gilded body of Nuozha, a deity in Taiwanese folk belief. After accidentally awakening the spiritual power, Thih-Hui becomes entangled in bonds with past lives that stretch across the courts of the underworld.
One of renowned artist Yi-Pin Zhuo’s representative works, Nuozha began serialization in 1998 in Dragon Boy, published by Tong Li Publishing, and was later released in collected volumes. The series later gained renewed attention through a digital release on the Creative Comic Collection platform. This revised edition has since been licensed for republication by Initial Publish. The narrative continually expands its setting, moving into the underworld and introducing a steadily enlarging cast that enriches its mythology.
