The Good Asian: 1936 Deluxe Edition

"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

"Mixes its many influences with its very modern stakes to create a unique brew." —Entertainment Weekly

"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

"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
