Description
Here is some fanart of Hank Chu, also known as the Green Turtle as reimagined by Gene Luen Yang and Sonny Liew.
The Green Turtle is a Golden Age hero that was mostly forgotten but had the unusual origin of being made by a Chinese artist Chu Hing. The editors didn't let him make the protagonist a Chinese hero for American readers so Chu did the brilliant thing of drawing only the Green Turtle's back and showed the hero's emotions through a turtle shadow that always projected from nowhere.
The new reimagining has it so that Hank Chu is a mostly Golden Age style brawler hero save for the magical turtle shadow that he made a wish with to make him bulletproof. I happen to really like this book a lot and I hope to see more of the Green Turtle in any form if ever. As a Chinese American myself there weren't many Chinese American heroes I could relate to so to have one is a breath of fresh air for me.
Incidentally, I had this in mind when reading the comic and drawing this fanart: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5hXtG…
