    Gene Luen Yang is a celebrated writer, artist, and educator whose works have left an indelible mark on the world of comics and literature. Renowned for his thought-provoking storytelling and insightful exploration of cultural, social, and identity themes, Yang has captivated audiences of all ages. Through his groundbreaking graphic novels, including "American Born Chinese," "Boxers & Saints," and his work on iconic characters like Superman and the Green Turtle, Yang intertwines the art of storytelling with powerful messages that resonate deeply with readers. As a MacArthur Fellowship recipient and National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, Yang's contributions extend beyond his compelling narratives, as he passionately advocates for diversity, representation, and the transformative potential of comics in education. His impact as a storyteller and advocate continues to inspire and shape the literary landscape, inviting readers into richly woven narratives that challenge perceptions and foster empathy.

    Gene Luen Yang is about to release his next graphic novel, Lunar New Year Love Story, a young adult romance. For this story, Yang Man teamed up with uber-talented and celebrated award-winning illustrator LeUyen Pham. An incredibly smart move because her artwork absolutely makes this book. It is gorgeous.
