Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology is a comics anthology edited by Jeff Yang, Parry Shen, Keith Chow, and Jerry Ma that brings together leading Asian American creators in the comics industry—including Gene Yang ( National Book Award finalist for American Born Chinese), Bernard Chang ( Wonder Woman), Greg Pak ( Hulk), [1] and Christine Norrie (Black Canary Wedding Special)—to craft original graphical short stories set in a compelling "shadow history" of our country: from the building of the railroads to the Japanese American internment, the Vietnam airlift, the murder of Vincent Chin, and the incarceration of Wen Ho Lee. [2]
In October 2010, the editors announced they had begun work on a second anthology entitled Secret Identities Volume 2: Shattered. Production on Volume 2 was due in part to a grant from The Vilcek Foundation. [3] Shattered was released in November 2012. [4]
Promotion
Creators Larry Hama, Christine Norrie, Jef Castro, Keith Chow, Cliff Chiang and Jerry Ma, who all contributed work to Secret Identities, appeared at a book signing at Midtown Comics Times Square in Manhattan, on May 23, 2009 to promote the book. [5]
