Críticas:
"What America needs is for people to shed the expectation of translation and immerse themselves in other worlds . . . America has to start somewhere, and I'd recommend The Shadow Hero." --New York Times "Gene Luen Yang uses his Chinese heritage to create engaging comics that are deeply personal yet rooted in centuries of stories, fictional and true." --LA Times "Yang and Liew reinvent this character in a brilliant homage that finally allows the Green Turtle to get his long overdue face time." --BCCB, STARRED REVIEW on The Shadow Hero "There's plenty of humor in this lively, entertaining adventure story . . . At its heart, though, this book is a subtle comment on China's changing cultural landscape and growing multiculturalism in America. A lovingly tongue-in-cheek homage." --Booklist, STARRED REVIEW "The insight into Chinese mafia and 1940s American superhero comic book culture is wonderful." --VOYA "Award-winning author Yang and artist Liew tackle a lesser-known aspect of history, breathing new life into the Green Turtle, a 1940s comic book hero . . . A creative take on the superhero genre." --School Library Journal "Abundant humor, strong characters and cracking good action." --The Horn Book "A golden-age comic superhero returns with a brand new Asian-American origin story . . . An entertaining and intelligent response to classic superhero stories." --Kirkus Reviews "Racism, romance, humor, and identity all play important roles in Yang and Liew's evocation of Hank's life in pre-WWII San Francisco as they create an origin story that blends classic comics conventions with a distinctly Chinese perspective." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW "Masterful." --Dave Eggers on Boxers & Saints "Remarkable." --The New York Times on Boxers & Saints "At once humorous and heartbreaking." --The LA Times on Boxers & Saints "Epic." --The Washington Post on Boxers & Saints
Reseña del editor:
In the comics boom of the 1940s, a legend was born: the Green Turtle. But this mysterious masked crusader was hiding something more than your run-of-the-mill secret identity...The Green Turtle was the first Asian American superhero. The original Green Turtle comic only had a short run, but now Gene Luen Yang has revived the character, creating an origin story for a forgotten hero. Hank just wants to enjoy his quiet life running the family grocery store with his father, but his mother wants him to become a superhero, and to clean up their Chinatown neighbourhood! With artwork by Sonny Liew, this dazzling, funny comic's adventure for teens is a new spin on the long, rich tradition of American comics lore.
