Shadow Hero

(W) Gene Luen Yang (A/CA) Sonny Liew. In the comics boom of the 1940s* a legend was born: the Green Turtle. He solved crimes and fought injustice just like the other comics characters. But this mysterious masked crusader was hiding something more than your run-of-the-mill secret identity; the Green Turtle was the first Asian American super hero. The comic had a short run before lapsing into obscurity* but the acclaimed author of American Born Chinese* Gene Luen Yang* has finally revived this character in Shadow Hero* a new graphic novel that creates an origin story for the Green Turtle.
