The Good Asian #5

Issue five of The Good Asian delivers one of the series' most striking covers: a skull-faced hula dancer in a grass skirt and flower crown moves gracefully against a backdrop of warm hibiscus blooms, while a brooding detective in a wide-brimmed hat watches from the lower corner. The juxtaposition of beauty and death is handled with genuine elegance, and the bold pink logo pops against the spare white background with real style. Pornsak Pichetshote, Alexandre Tefenkgi, Lee Loughridge, and Jeff Powell continue to bring a distinct visual identity to this acclaimed Image noir series.
