{"product_id":"shattered-9781595588241","title":"Shattered","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThree years after the publication of the groundbreaking Asian American comics anthology \u003ci\u003eSecret Identities\u003c\/i\u003e, the same team is back with a new volume—bigger, bolder, and more breathtaking in scope.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWhile the first collection focused on the conventions of superhero comics, this new book expands its horizon to include edgier genres, from hard-boiled pulp to horror, adventure, fantasy, and science fiction. Using this darker range of hues, it seeks to subvert—to shatter—the hidebound stereotypes that have obscured the Asian image since the earliest days of immigration: the stoic brute, the prodigious brain, the exotic temptress, the inscrutable alien, the devious manipulator. The eclectic and impressive lineup of contributors includes leading Asian American comics creators Bernard Chang (\u003ci\u003eSupergirl\u003c\/i\u003e), Sean Chen (\u003ci\u003eIron Man\u003c\/i\u003e), Cliff Chiang (\u003ci\u003eWonder Woman\u003c\/i\u003e), Larry Hama (\u003ci\u003eG.I.

Tran (\u003ci\u003eVietnamerica\u003c\/i\u003e), Gene Yang (\u003ci\u003eAmerican Born Chinese\u003c\/i\u003e), and many others, as well as such film and literary standouts as Tanuj Chopra (\u003ci\u003ePunching at the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e), Michael Kang (\u003ci\u003eThe Motel\u003c\/i\u003e), Jamie Ford (\u003ci\u003eHotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet\u003c\/i\u003e), Gary Jackson (\u003ci\u003eMissing You, Metropolis\u003c\/i\u003e), and Bao Phi (\u003ci\u003eSong I Sing\u003c\/i\u003e). Their original graphic short stories cover topics from ethnic kiddie shows, China's AIDS policy, and airline security procedures to the untold backstory of Flash Gordon's nemesis Ming the Merciless and the gritty reality of a day in the life of a young Koreatown gangster.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eShattered\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates thrills, chills, and delights while exposing the hidden issues and vital truths of the nation's fastest-growing and most dynamic community.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jeff Yang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48284355068155,"sku":"9781595588241","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_215eeecb-695c-43f8-a8d1-5b90c3f5fb8e.jpg?v=1771405877","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/shattered-9781595588241","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
