Mission: Comics and Art, 3520 20th Street in San Francisco, will be hosting Gene Luen Yang for a signing of The Shadow Hero. Yang’s title reaches into the Golden Age of comics and shines a spotlight on the often overlooked Asian-American hero the Green Turtle. Although the Green Turtle only made it to five issues of Blazing Stories Yang saw it as an opportunity to tell the back story of this long lost hero. Featuring beautiful art from Sonny Liew the comic was initially released digitally, but dropped as a collected paperback in July. You can read more about the title here and watch a trailer here. The signing starts at 6 p.m. on August 16.
