Collecting the Eisner-award-winning hit in one complete volume alongside special bonus content. THE GOOD ASIAN follows Edison Hark – a haunted, self-loathing Chinese-American detective on the trail of a killer in 1936 San Francisco – in a noir mystery exploring 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.

"With snappy period dialogue and deftly engaging art, Pornsak And Alex have crafted a gripping and authentic crime story from an Asian-American POV. This is the book I've been waiting for." —Cliff Chiang, Paper Girls
"Edison Hark immediately joins the ranks of Phillip Marlowe and Sam Spade in a smart, classic noir drenched in style and history." —James Tynion IV, The Department of Truth, Batman
“Absolutely the best kind of comics noir." —Kieron Gillen, The Wicked + The Divine, Die
