If Interior Chinatown had a three-way with Goodfellas and Fight Club at Comic-Con, their bastard child would be Suspicious Activity.
A gritty Filipino-American noir that blurs the line between crime fiction and graphic storytelling.
Suspicious Activity follows Bingo, an accountant for an Asian-American mafia run by Filipino-Americans in Southern California’s San Gabriel Valley. Haunted by greed, violence, and paranoia, his story dives deep into identity, loyalty, and survival in the underworld.
Written and illustrated by Nathan Cayanan, a DC Comics Milestone Initiative alum, this hybrid novel/graphic novel merges cinematic prose with sharp sequential art like if Interior Chinatown had a three-way with Goodfellas and Fight Club at Comic-Con.

Let customers speak for us
Galing na! I’ve been such a big fan following Ninong Ry on tiktok and I’m so excited to start making his recipes. The book is so beautifully laid out, funny, and easy to follow. Being a 1st gen Filipino-American, there are a lot of things that get lost from one generation to another (especially in cooking) and I feel Ninong Ry helps to fill those gaps. Thanks for the opportunity to get one of his books stateside!

Loved it so much i bought another Because I lost some weight. Love the designs and hope some new ones come out for me to buy
The beautiful cover illustration of Zsazsa Zaturnnah drew me in and the pages of dialogue kept me hooked! This has been the MOST FUN I've had reading comics in ages! I began reading it as soon as I bought it at the Liwanag Litfest in Long Beach. I was cackling with laughter all by myself and I didn't care if people were staring at me! My family was laughing with me as I read them excerpts of the dialogue! Aside from the funny antics, there's also themes of friendship, love (of self, of neighbors and romantic love) and believing in one's self. I'm glad I brought Zsazsa Zaturnnah into my life!
Fits good. It's part of my disguise when I'm deep in the country. Material is like any other hat
yaaaas!

My daughter saw the book when I opened the package after work. Started reading it at night and finished the first 7 chapters before bedtime then finished the rest of the book the next day! Now she's asking to buy the next book. :)

I love learning about different mythology and to do it through graphic novels was awesome. Also, I love to support small businesses, so no brainer. I was happy to discover this shop and will be happy to purchase more in the future.
