Interview: Gina Gagliano on the 10th Anniversary of ‘American Born Chinese’
It’s First Second’s tenth anniversary and with it we have the tenth anniversary of Gene Luen Yang’s award winning graphic novel American Born Chinese.

From Wednesday, July 17 through Sunday, July 21, 2013, while attending the San Diego International Comic-Con, I ran around to as many of my favorite kids comics creators as I could and asked them all the exact same questions.
