Winner of the Golden Comic Award, this third volume can be enjoyed in English for the first time as battles become even more intense and the stakes are even higher.
From award-winning creator of Oldmen and The Hidden Level, Chang Sheng delivers an elaborately detailed and genre-defying story alongside stunning artwork, to take readers from traditional Peking Opera performances to a dystopian Taiwan controlled by A.I.
Golden Comic Award-winning series Yan returns with its most haunting chapter yet. In a comic landscape where Taiwan’s graphic novel scene continues to flourish, Yan Volume 3 stands as a bold testament to the heights of storytelling the medium can reach and genres it seamlessly fuses.
Still reeling from revelations about her family’s brutal murder, the resurrected Peking Opera performer Tieh-Hua delves deeper into a tangled web of supernatural vengeance and time-warped conspiracies. As she closes in on those responsible, her bond with Higa-Mirai—a missing Go prodigy cursed with visions of the future—grows, complicating her pursuit of justice. Meanwhile, Detective Lei wrestles with a reality shattered by ghosts, time travelers, and corrupted power structures, forcing him to question everything he thought he stood for.
Set across modern-day Taiwan and a fractured, dystopian future, Yan Volume 3 pushes the boundaries of sci-fi, horror, and noir. With eerie precision and cinematic flair, Chang Sheng constructs a world where the past refuses to stay buried and the future is constantly rewriting itself.
Visceral, gripping, and unapologetically strange, this volume is essential reading for fans of supernatural thrillers and lovers of bold, innovative comics.
Following a 15-year career in advertising, Chang Sheng began releasing his own comic and manga titles in 2004. He started his studio while in his thirties, and since then has won several titles, having been acknowledged across the world for his detailed and realistic video-game style of art. Not only was Oldman a finalist at the 2013 International Manga Award in Japan, but The Hidden Level won the Grand Prize at the 2017 Kyoto International Manga Awards (Taiwan Category).
