Escape to Gold Mountain

Escape to Gold Mountain, published by Arsenal Pulp Press since 2012, is a single-issue graphic history that chronicles the epic, multi-generational story of a Chinese family’s journey to and settlement in North America. Written and illustrated by David H. T. Wong, the book uses a vivid, comics-narrative style to explore themes of immigration, discrimination, and resilience across more than a century. As a deeply personal and historically grounded work, it stands as a vital contribution to the canon of Asian North American storytelling in comics.
