Inspired by her own coming-of-age experiences in the entertainment industry, Chachu is the solo writing debut of superstar actor Iman Vellani brilliantly illustrated by Marianna Ignazzi and colored by Jordie Bellaire. This all-new, five issue miniseries will reinterpret the classic neo-noir private investigator story and launch in August from Image Comics. 

Set in 1979, Chachu follows Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl with a penchant for film and pulp novels, who travels to California hoping to connect with her estranged uncle—her “Chachu”—a middle-aged, semi-retired private eye once famous for marrying the starlet he was initially hired to find. But when his wife mysteriously vanishes once again, the two are forced on an impromptu road trip investigation that transforms her first taste of adulthood into a thrilling confrontation of family secrets, unresolved grief, and the fantasies both she and Chachu have built their lives around.

Chachu #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, August 5.
