DC News - FYI
DC CONTINUES THE ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH CELEBRATION
For Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, The Huffington Post asked artists, writers and other creators of Asian descent for recommendations of what to read or watch to connect with AAPI community and culture. Their recommendations include DC’s graphic novel Superman Smashes the Klan written by Gene Luen Yang and illustrated by the Japanese art team Gurihiru.
Superman Smashes the Klan is an adaptation of the 1940s Superman radio serial Clan of the Fiery Cross. Yang was fascinated by how the original radio story had a Chinese-American family at its center, and talks about his approach to retelling the story as a comic book here. The book is also featured on Entertainment Weekly’s list of three comics to read in May.
In his prose essay-afterward, Yang uses his childhood love of Superman – and his personal experience of racism as a Chinese-American – to deliver a fascinating history of the Ku Klux Klan, the rise of white supremacy in the U.S. and the role the 1940s Superman radio show played in fighting American bigotry.
Superman Smashes the Klan is now available wherever books are sold. Pick up your copy and see how DC’s most enduring icon has inspired generations.
