Chachu #1

SERIES PREMIERE 1979. Leila¸ a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl¸ stands on the cusp of adulthood¸ eager to experience the “real world” for the first time. With a head full of Hollywood dreams and a penchant for pulp novels¸ she ventures to California to connect with her estranged uncle—her “Chachu”—a middle-aged¸ semi-retired private eye who gained brief fame after marrying the starlet he was initially hired to find.

Inspired by her own coming-of-age experiences in the entertainment industry¸ CHACHU is the solo writing debut of superstar IMAN VELLANI (Ms. Marvel)¸ a reinterpretation of the classic neo-noir private investigator story brilliantly illustrated by MARIANNA IGNAZZI (EXQUISITE CORPSES) and colored by JORDIE BELLAIRE (Absolute Wonder Woman).
