About the series
In Shanghai Red (2018–present, Image), a five-issue miniseries, a wronged woman returns to her home port of Portland, Oregon, seeking bloody revenge against the men who sold her into slavery on a ship. Written with a gritty, visceral energy and illustrated throughout by artist Josh Hixson, the story blends historical seafaring brutality with a modern, feminist revenge thriller. Its tight, self-contained arc and unflinching focus on one woman’s harrowing journey make it a standout in Image’s library of creator-owned comics.
