Reviews

“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

“The best noir comic I’ve read in years. It’s taut, evocative, and though it’s set nearly 100 years ago, incredibly relevant.” -G. Willow Wilson, Ms. Marvel

“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

“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

“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
