1st printing.
Written by Gene Luen Yang. Art and cover by 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.
Softcover, 176 pages, full color.
