AmericanBornChinese author Gene Luen Yang, show creator Kelvin Yu, and star Ben Wang discuss bringing the classic graphic novel to TV.
"I think Gene's tone, if you read any of his graphic novels, has this great combination of heart, humor and I guess I'll call it medicine," Yu says. "It's like there's something nutritious about what he's saying, and yet it goes down so well and it doesn't take itself too seriously. That just checks every box for me as a TV writer." stars Ben Wang as Jin Wang, the child of Chinese immigrants who is growing up as an American.
As the show's team worked on the adaptation, they realized that while some things have changed since Yang's childhood , feelings of alienation and isolation are still relevant to many immigrant children. "On a visceral level, I'm a superhero fan," says Yang, who has written superheroes for both DC and Marvel. "At the heart of the superhero genre is this blending of the fantastic and the mundane. I think that really reflects the Asian-American experience in particular, and the immigrant child's experience in general. Many of us feel like we live in between two different worlds. For me, when I was a kid I spoke one language at home and another one at school.
