O Chinês Americano #[nn]
"O Chinês Americano" is a strikingly layered story from Gene Luen Yang, who both writes and draws this powerful exploration of identity, culture, and belonging. Through three interwoven tales—the mythic journey of the Monkey King, Jin Wang’s struggle to fit in at school, and Danny’s uneasy encounter with his cousin Chin-Kee—Yang blends folklore, humor, and quiet introspection. The vibrant artwork and expressive storytelling, with Lark Pien’s colors adding depth, make this a standout issue in the series.
