Description

The Shadow Hero is a graphic novel that reimagines the origins of the Green Turtle, a pioneering Asian American superhero. First appearing in comics in the 1940s, this masked crusader was ahead of his time, but his story had been lost to history until now. Gene Luen Yang and Sonny Liew have revived the character with Shadow Hero, creating a new adventure that explores the Green Turtle's secret identity and his fight against injustice. This beautifully illustrated book is a fresh take on American comics lore, well suited to readers looking for a unique and engaging story. With its gorgeous artwork and humorous tone, Shadow Hero is a worthwhile read for fans of graphic novels and anyone interested in the history of superheroes.
