ABI-SWORD：Volume II《Awakening》

本書為《阿鼻劍：第二部（覺醒）》英文版。

《阿鼻劍》是國內漫畫創作的傳奇之一，也是鄭問的漫畫創作轉捩點，他獨特的水墨畫法，將武俠漫畫帶入了新的層次；而編劇馬利則將原本武俠小說的元素精彩地串連重組，並融入發人深省的佛義，使得這部武俠漫畫有別於一般武俠的刀光劍影，有了更深的意涵。

一場大火讓何勿生遇見從火中重生的阿鼻第九使者，開始經歷代表貪、愚、痴、嗔的武林恩怨，見證「阿鼻（地獄）」即「人世」的深理……

Later, He sees the ninth emissary of the Avici Hell reborn in a fire. As he begins to experience representations of greed, stupidity, foolish attachment and anger in the realm of martial arts, he comes to the profound conclusion that the Avici Hell—that last and deepest of the eight hot hells— might in fact be the world of men....
