While scumming through rec.arts.video.arcade I found this little gem.
I felt it should be posted for those interested(if it hasn't already
been done). Here goes....

Article from agus@rt5.cs.wisc.edu a.k.a. Gunawan Agus.

>I have several comic books here that my sis sent me from Indonesia. It is
>originally written in either Japanese or Chinese. The title is (drum roll)
>Street Fighters. The story goes as follows (sorry for the grammatical errors,
>I have no time to re-read it):

>There is this guy called AKEN who has mastered SF][ as perfect as a human
>being can possibly get. He then get trapped by the evil Bison. He is warped
>into the latest and ultimate Street Fighter game, where every characters
>are real. AKEN assume the role as Ken when he was faced with the choice. 
>Up to this point, all other characters are bad guys. Apparently, Bison
>wants to capture AKEN's soul and put it into a bullet which can home in to
>its target. All 7 original characters + Vega are then hot on his pursuit.
>[The end of Book 1]

>AKEN is a runaway man now. His pursuers split up and begin the search for
>him. During these sequences, we are given the impression that Ryu is
>acting in a mysterious way - Honda is coming on to Chun Li, but she rejects
>him with no second thoughts - and Guile starts to doubt his own actions. 
>Bison turned out is not the utmost master. He is under the commands of
>a Master Computer. There is also this Professor character whose work
>(The MC) is being misused but he is actually a good hearted man (sounds
>familiar?). The next significant scene is when the street fighters catch up
>with AKEN. All hells break lose. Ryu doesn't join the fight. He just
>stands over a lamp post and watch. Chun Li betrays the MC and starts helping
>AKEN (Hooray...Now you know which character I used most). Still, the fight
>is obviously unbalanced. During some critical moment, Guile follows Chun Li's
>steps. He sonic kicks Dhalsim's wrist and seperate it from his arm. Meanwhile,
>the professor is killed by a homing-bullet made by Bison. This activates his
>computer image of himself (meaning he exists in AKEN's world)  and an ultimate 
>fighting android called Tenu. His image then (You guessed it!) helps AKEN 
>fights against Vega & Co. AKEN, Chun Li, and the Professor manage to escape,
>but Guile becomes a POW. AKEN and the professor then ride a motorbike and
>get captured again, thanks to Dhalsim with his variable-length arm. The story-
>line then moves to HongKong, where the real (life) Sagat and Balrog can be
>found roaming around trying to find Tenu. Sagat's eye and scars are explained
>as follows: Once he fought against 40 people. He survived and the scars are
>there to prove it. (IMHO, I prefer EGM's version of this - He got it from
>Ryu's Dragon Punch).
[The End of Book 2]

>The story starts out with an attempt by the MC to strip AKEN's soul. This is
>done by taking over his body fragment piece by piece (Imagine a completed
>jigsaw puzzle, then imagine you pull the piece one by one until they are
>all gone). With the help of the professor, AKEN is able to concentrate
>and free his soul of Ken's body. The MC then sends out several big nasty
>computer guards to reacpture him. AKEN tries to concentrate and
>sucks all the pieces of Ken's body fragment into his body. He does it so
>hard that not only Ken's fragment get sucked in but also the prof's and the
>guards'. Now, we have a Super Ken. Timely enough, the loyal fighters are coming
>in to fight him, but they are no match for AKEN who can now throw fireballs
>as fast as he wants. Then we move to another site, the MC center core. Here,
>we learned Vega's fate. The MC tortured him and made him lost his both legs
>and arms. His body is rotting but he is still alive and moaning. Now back to
>Hong Kong. Sagat and Balrog manage to find to find Tenu. Sagat fires off his
>Tiger Blade to Tenu but instead hit a couple of lovers and slashed them in two
>(waist above and below). Tenu has this special power: He can turned his
>left hand into a blade (ala-T-1000) and his right hand into a drill. During
>the fights, Balrog's 'favourite' Boxing Glove got torn off by the blade
>and Sagat's Arm is seperated (also by the blade).
[End of Book 3]

>I haven't got the continuations yet but my sis promise to send them to me as
>soon as they are out. I believe it will involve some Ninja and Saint Seiya 
>(This name doesn't ring any bell for me, but some of my friends said
>that he is a character from another game and he is quite popular).

>Hope you guys enjoy this post,
>G.Agus (agus@@cs.wisc.edu)

Indeed I did. Hope the rest of you did too.
