Gene Luen Yang began making comic books in the fifth grade. He has
since written and drawn a number of titles. His 2006 book, American
Born Chinese, was the first graphic novel to be nominated for a
National Book Award and the first to win the American Library
Association's Michael L. Printz Award. It also won an Eisner Award
for Best Graphic Album-New. His 2013 two-volume graphic novel,
Boxers & Saints, was nominated for both the National Book Award and
the LA Times Book Award. Gene currently writes the graphic novel
continuation of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon, Avatar- The Last
Airbender. The Shadow Hero, his comic book series with Sonny Liew,
revived the Green Turtle, an obscure 1940s character who is
arguably the first Asian-American superhero. The Shadow Hero is now
available as individual digital issues via Amazon Kindle.
