American Born Chinese: Collector's Edition

This single-issue collector’s edition from First Second collects the acclaimed graphic novel American Born Chinese (2006), a landmark work in comics literature. Written and illustrated by Gene Luen Yang, the story weaves together three seemingly separate narratives—a Chinese-American teenager’s high school struggles, a classic Chinese folk tale, and a satirical sitcom starring a stereotypical Chinese character—into a cohesive exploration of identity and assimilation. Its publication marked a major milestone for the graphic novel format, earning it a lasting place in classrooms and bookstores as a touchstone of modern multicultural storytelling.
