Nerdy Book Club – Shadow Hero

Share this

The story of the Green Turtle, the first Asian-American superhero!

Gene Luen Yang & Sonny Liew revisit the short-lived Golden Age superhero created by Chu F. Hing for Blazing Comics. Avoiding the dreaded reboot, Yang and Liew instead embrace the source material and expand on its 1940s naïveté, explaining the more unique aspects of the strip.

The Nerdy Book Club gathers together at Detroit Comics to review Shadow Hero, and the result is a debate more heated than the hottest Sriracha sauce.
