the critically acclaimed INFIDEL with stunning art by ALEXANDRE TEFENKGI

Chinese-American detective on the trail of a killer in 1936 Chinatown, THE GOOD

age under an immigration ban, the Chinese, as they're besieged by rampant
murders, abusive police, and a world that seemingly never changes.
Collects THE GOOD ASIAN #1-4, plus covers by
SANA TAKEDA, ANNIE WU, JEN BARTEL, DAVE JOHNSON, and more.

waiting for."CLIFF CHIANG (PAPER GIRLS)
