About the Author
Pornsak Pichetshote started his career as a Thai-American rising star editor at DC's Vertigo imprint, his books being nominated for dozens of Eisner awards -- from the award-winning Daytripper to critical darling Sweet Tooth. He left Vertigo to become an executive in DC Entertainment's media team, where he started and oversaw DC's TV department. His critical and commercial horor book INFIDEL marked his first major work as a comics writer.

His current work with Image Comics is the Eisner- and Harvey-winning THE GOOD ASIAN, which he's currently adapting for television with James Wan's Atomic Monster.
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
"Rich with history, style, and emotion, Image Comics' The Good Asian delivers noir excellence at every turn." -The AV Club
"What is great about this series-beyond nuanced characters, gorgeously mood-setting art, and an impressively layered story aided by historical consultants on the creative team-is that it's simply a good noir. The tone, the twists, the double-crosses... they would all fit among the best film noirs of the '40s and '50s. This is the kind of textured plotting you might expect from Raymond Chandler if he were writing today." -Thrillist
"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
"Does not center around superheroes. It is instead a detective story with all the elements of a good noir...Tefenkgi's drawings in sepia, orange, gray and black enhance the dark ambiance of the story." -Asian Review of Books
"Both important and incredibly fun. Don't miss it." -Scott Snyder, Nocterra, Batman
