Description
Writer PORNSAK PICHETSHOTE's long-awaited follow-up to the critically acclaimed INFIDEL with stunning art by ALEXANDER TEFENGKI (OUTPOST ZERO)! Following Edison Hark -- a haunted, self-loathing Chinese-American detective -- on the trail of a killer in 1936 Chinatown, THE GOOD ASIAN is Chinatown noir starring the first generation of Americans to come of age under an immigration ban... the Chinese - as they're besieged by rampant murders, abusive police, and a world that seemingly never changes.
"A brittle story that takes place during an unfamiliar time in our history that is tragically all too familiar now in our present." - Brian Azzarello (Moonshine, 100 Bullets)
"Absolutely the best kind of comics noir." - Kieron Gillen (The Wicked and the Divine, Die)
Collects THE GOOD ASIAN #5-10
Reviews
"One of the best debuts of the year." -The Hollywood Reporter
"Has all the trappings of a noir tale, but also tackles questions of race, immigration, and 'respectability politics.' All wrapped up in a thrilling mystery." -Fortune
"Heavily researched and rooted in real life, the result is something that feels brand new and ground-breaking, while continuing to honor the traditions of the stories it draws on, both real and imagined." -Variety
"The surroundings will seem and feel instantly familiar to those who know the historic San Francisco neighborhood. But the comic's title character, Edison Hark, a Chinese American detective who is trying to track down a missing person in 1936, is decidedly new." -The San Francisco Chronicle
"Fantastic." -Jeff Lemire (GIDEON FALLS, Sweet Tooth)
"This is the book I've been waiting for." -Cliff Chiang (PAPER GIRLS)
