The Shadow Hero. illustrated by Sonny Liew. lettered by Janice Chiang. published by First Second Books. recommended for Middle School and Up. I’ve wanted to do a superhero book for a long, long time. I finally get to in The Shadow Hero. Illustrator extraordinaire Sonny Liew and I tell the story of Hank Chu, a mild-mannered Chinese American. In The Shadow Hero, cartoonist Gene Luen Yang collaborates with artist Sonny Liew to tell the story of Hank Chu, the teenage son of Chinese immigrants who run a small store in Depression-era Chinatown. As with much of Yang's best-known work, this new original graphic novel deals with themes of cultural, national and racial identity, and the tensions and conflicts that arise when identities and outlooks collide. The Shadow Hero by Chinese American writer Gene Luen Yang and Malaysian-born artist Sonny Liew revives an obscure Golden Age superhero called the Green Turtle, providing him with the origin story the short-lived original series never got around to. Why would Yang and Liew be interested in the Green Turtle, you ask?.
