Cover of Jeff Yang & Parry Shen: Secret Identities (PDF)

Appealing to both comics fans and Asian Americans seeking to claim their place in American culture,
Secret Identities makes brilliant use of the conventions of the superhero comic book to expose the real face of the Asian American experience.


This groundbreaking graphic anthology brings together leading Asian American creators in the comics industry—including Gene Yang (National Book Award finalist for
American Born Chinese), Bernard Chang (
Wonder Woman), Greg Pak (
The Hulk), and Christine Norrie (
Black Canary Wedding Special )—to craft original graphical short stories set in a compelling “shadow history” of our country: from the building of the railroads to the Japanese American internment, the Vietnam airlift, the murder of Vincent Chin, and the incarceration of Dr. Wen Ho Lee.


Entertaining and enlightening,
Secret Identities offers whiz-bang action, searing satire, and thoughtful commentary from a community too often overlooked by the cultural mainstream, while showcasing a vivid cross-section of the talents whose imagination and creativity is driving the contemporary comics renaissance.
