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)
