Thien Pham is a talented comic book artist, writer, and illustrator known for his contributions to the world of graphic novels. His creative endeavors include works like “Sumo,” “Level Up,” and collaborations with authors such as Gene Luen Yang.

Thien generously recounts his journey in the world of comics and shares his origin story. Thien is also a high school teacher and discusses why AAPI history is significant for students.
