Gene Luen Yang began making comics and graphic novels in the fifth grade. In 2006, his book American Born Chinese was published and became the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award and the first to win the American Library Association’s Printz Award. It also won an Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album-New.
Gene Luen Yang shares his experiences growing up as an Asian American in California and the issues surrounding Asian Americans today.
I am a huge fan of Gene’s work and was excited to get to know him. We discuss his creative process and the work he is doing on DC’s The Monkey Prince and Marvel’s Shang Chi.
It is such an honor to talk to guests like Gene. If you enjoyed this conversation, my favor as usual is to please continue to share this podcast with others. It would mean so much if you also rate it and leave me feedback.
