A graphic novel featuring action hero Superman but this is a deeper look at the superhero as he battles the Klan who are trying to intimidate an Asian family who has moved to Metropolis. Amazing art work and a very strong story make this a very timely read.
Pretty nuanced for a comic book that by structural nature has to be formulaic. Really appreciated the addendum explaining the creation of Superman and the original Superman vs KKK story, as always intermingled with Yang's own story. Would be a great starter for discussions with 5th grade and up.
