Yan Vol.1

Winner of the Golden Comic Award, from traditional Peking Opera to Taiwan in a future where machine's rule, enjoy this action-packed thriller in English for the first time. From award-winning creator of Baby and The Hidden Level, Chang Sheng delivers an opulently detailed supernatural sci-fi story - that defies genres and engrosses readers with stunning artwork. Winner of the Golden Comics Awards and a standout of Taiwan's rising comics scene, Yan Vol. 1 is a haunting, genre-bending journey from master storyteller Chang Sheng--creator of Baby and The Hidden Level. In this stunning first volume, the echoes of Peking Opera performances 30 years past linger in the shadows of a story that begins in tradition and spirals toward a dark, speculative future. The tale unfolds across eras--starting with a tragedy in the richly detailed world of late 20th-century Taiwan, stepping into the present day, and glimmering with the foreboding rise of a dystopian tomorrow. Declared dead in prison records, Yan Tieh-Hua mysteriously returns to Taipei, reigniting the investigation into a decades-old massacre--her own family's. As she carves a bloody path toward vengeance, Detective Lei is drawn into a chilling spiral of cold cases, supernatural events, and impossible truths. Alongside Yan is Higa Mirai, a young Go prodigy with the uncanny gift of precognition, adding eerie weight to every move made. With sharp moral tension, brutal action, and a uniquely Taiwanese swagger, Yan is more than a mere quest for revenge--it's a vision of justice that questions what lies beneath our choices, and what might come after humanity loses control.
