I have one of my stories in this wonderful anthology... check out the Amazon.com description below...
For
many Asian Americans, this chronicle sounds familiar because many of us
have lived it. But it also happens to be the tale of mild-mannered
reporter Clark Kent, better known as Superman. And the parallels
between those stories help explain why Asian Americans have become such
a driving force in the contemporary comics renaissance as artists and
writers--and fans.
But there's one place where Asians are
still underrepresented in comics: between the four-color covers
themselves. That's why, in
, top Asian
American writers, artists, and comics professionals have come together
to create twenty-six original stories centered around Asian American
superheroes--stories set in a shadow history of our country, exploring
ordinary Asian American life from a decidedly extraordinary
perspective. Entertaining, enlightening, and more than a little
provocative,
blends action, satire, and
thoughtful commentary into a groundbreaking anthology about a community
too often overlooked by the cultural mainstream.
