This is artwork from the pen and paper role-playing games based on Street Fighter. The artwork was pretty hit or miss, with some of the misses reaching the depths of quality that Malibu Comics invented, but the hits are pretty great I think. The series had its complete run in 1994, with later rule books moving away from Street Fighter and deeper into their own fighter universe.
