Before capes ruled comics, there was the Green Turtle — the first Asian American superhero.
In 1940s Chinatown, Hank Chu doesn’t dream of becoming a hero. He just wants a normal life. Unfortunately, his fearless mother has other plans. She’s determined to turn her son into a legendary crimefighter, whether he likes it or not.
When gangsters, corruption, and dark forces threaten the city, Hank reluctantly steps into the role of the Shadow Hero, discovering that being a hero is far more dangerous — and far more personal — than he ever imagined.
Created by bestselling author Gene Luen Yang and acclaimed artist Sonny Liew, Shadow Hero reimagines the little-known Golden Age character with thrilling action, heartfelt family dynamics, and sharp humor.
Perfect for fans of:
- superhero origin stories
- DC and Marvel comics
- pulp crime adventures
- coming-of-age heroes
