The Good Asian #8

The cover of The Good Asian #8 pulls no punches, depicting a tense street scene rendered in stark black-and-white: a crowd of protesters brandishing signs bearing racist slogans surrounds figures who seem caught in the middle of mounting hostility. Running alongside that charged image is an amber-toned vertical panel featuring a composed woman in a stylish hat and a snarling dragon, lending the composition a noir atmosphere that feels both glamorous and dangerous. This Image Comics series continues to tackle mid-century American racism head-on, and issue eight looks like another unflinching chapter from the creative team of Pichetshote, Tefenkgi, Loughridge, and Powell.
