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.

“Absolutely the best kind of comics noir." —Kieron Gillen, The Wicked + The Divine, Die
"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
"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
"Does not center around superheroes. It is instead a detective story with all the elements of a good noir...Tefenkgi’s drawings in sepia, orange, gray and black enhance the dark ambiance of the story." —Asian Review of Books
"Rich with history, style, and emotion, Image Comics’ The Good Asian delivers noir excellence at every turn." —The AV Club
