Shanghai Red

Red is one of hundreds of people who were shanghaied out of Portland in the late 1800s. Drugged, kidnapped and sold to a ship’s captain for $50, she wakes up on a boat headed out to sea for years, unable to escape or even reveal who she truly is. Now she’s coming back in a boat covered in blood to find her family and track down the men responsible for stealing her life out from under her.

Eisner-nominated writer CHRISTOPHER SEBELA (HIGH CRIMES, HEARTTHROB, WE(L)COME BACK), JOSHUA HIXSON (THE BLACK WOODS) and HASSAN OTSMANE-ELHAOU (FELIX & MACABBER) bring you a tale of revenge, family and identity that stretches from the deck of a ship outside Shanghai all the way to the bleak streets and secret tunnels beneath Portland, Oregon.

Christopher Sebela is a two-time Eisner-nominated writer, designer, and publisher living and dying in Portland, Oregon. He’s the co-creator of CROWDED, SHANGHAI RED, HIGH CRIMES, EVOLUTION, House Amok, Heartthrob, We(l)come Back, Dead Letters, Short Order Crooks, and The Death Defying. He also writes things in other peoples’ sandboxes sometimes.

He is catnip for weirdos, father to a blockheaded dog named Zola, drinks toxic amounts of coffee, watches found footage horror movies, and sure loves writing about himself in the third person.

Joshua Hixson graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2014 and has been working in comics ever since. He’s the artist and co-creator of Shanghai Red from Image Comics, and The Black Woods. He also works as an illustrator for Kannibalen Records. He resides on Long Island with his wife and their lazy pup Luna.
