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)

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
