There's this guy we know--quiet, unassuming, with black hair and
thick glasses. He's doing his best to fit in, in a world far away
from the land of his birth. He knows he's different and that his
differences make him alien, an outsider--but they also make him
special. Yet he finds himself unable to reveal his true self to the
world. . . . For many Asian Americans, this chronicle sounds familiar because
many of us have lived it. But it also happens to be the tale of
mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, better known as Superman. And
the parallels between those stories help explain why Asian
Americans have become such a driving force in the contemporary
comics renaissance as artists, writers, and fans. Yet there's one place where Asians are still underrepresented in
comics: between the four-color covers themselves. That's why, in
"Secret Identities," top Asian American writers, artists, and
comics professionals have come together to create twenty-six
original stories centered around Asian American
superheroes--stories set in a shadow history of our country,
exploring ordinary Asian American life from a decidedly
extraordinary perspective. Entertaining, enlightening, and more
than a little provocative, "Secret Identities" blends action,
satire, and thoughtful commentary into a groundbreaking anthology
about a community too often overlooked by the cultural
mainstream.
