You might recognize Gene Yang's work if you have read American Born Chinese - like his other comics, The Shadow Hero references Chinese culture. In this specific story, Yang revives the obscure Golden Age character, the Green Turtle, who helps the Chinese fight against the Japanese during WWII. In this rendition, Yang's protagonist deals with family pressure and expectations, while coming to terms with his own identity and representation in America.
