Secret Identities

JiaHere’s a preliminary character sketch for the piece I drew in Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology, based on a concept by actress Kelly Hu and Mark Allen. In stores now, Secret Identities is the “first-ever graphic novel collection of original stories exploring the universe of masked marvels and caped crusaders from the perspective of the nation’s fastest-growing and most dynamic emerging community” (from the SI website). There’s some really wonderful work here from people like Greg Pak, Bernard Chang, Christine Norrie, Gene Yang and Sonny Liew, among many others. I’m really happy for editors Jeff Yang, Parry Shen, Keith Chow, and Jerry Ma. They’ve put a lot of love and hard work into this and it’s great to see the attention it is getting and impact it has already made. Special shout out to The New Press editor Sarah Fan for introducing me to the guys!

There’s also a short documentary about the book at the SI blog. Take a peek and go buy a copy today!
