<b>Pearl Tanaka is an outsider among outsiders. A Japanese American with albinism, she was born into a world ruled by the American yakuza. Now she uses her unequaled skills as a tattoo artist to make a living in San Francisco, and all that she owes to the yakuza is the occasional kickback from her shop.</b> <p>That all changes the day that she meets Rick Araki...and saves his life.

By interfering with their hit on him, Pearl risks drawing her patron into a deadly gang war. <p>Worse, Pearl has revealed to her yakuza bosses one of her deepest secrets: she has a talent for killing. Now, to pay off her debt, she must become an assassin for her yakuza clan. <p>But Pearl Tanaka's secrets run more than skin deep... <p>The Peabody Award-winning creators of Jessica Jones, Brian Michael Bendis (<i>Superman</i>, <i>Powers</i>) and Michael Gaydos (<i>Alias</i>) begin a masterful saga involving art, crime, loyalty and passion in <i>Pearl Vol. 1</i>.
