Pornsak Pichetshote and Alexandre Tefenkgi’s The Good Asian is being adapted into a series

The Good Asian is a praised, and award-winning, comic series by Pornsak Pichetshote and Alexandre Tefenkgi and it’s being turned into a series. James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett are producing for Atomic Monster. Will Rowbotham and Luke Maxwell are producing for 3 Arts.

The Good Asian stars detective Edison Hark—a haunted Chinese-American detective—on the trail of a killer in 1936 San Francisco’s Chinatown. The series explores Chinese American identity, US immigration policy and the brutal contradictions inherent in being the first Chinese American cop when the target of his policing is inevitably his own community. It’s also a beautifully drawn piece of historical fiction and an exciting mystery.

The Good Asian was released in 2021 by Image Comics and ran for 10 issues wrapping up April 2022. You can listen to Pichetshote and Tefengki talk about the series on Graphic Policy Radio!
