August 6, 2015: Gene Luen Yang Talks to Superman's Immigrant Experience

Action Comics #45 In a video interview conducted during last month's San Diego Comic-Con, ComicBookResources.com sat down with new "Superman" writer Gene Luen Yang about his excitement being given the task to write DC's flagship character and identifying with Superman's immigrant experience.

    "There's always this dual identity," Yang said. "Superman basically code switches. That's what he's doing. For me, I had one language at home, one set of expectations at home; another language at school, another set of expectations at school. I had one name at home; another at school. I had to navigate between the two. I imagine Siegel and Shuster were exactly the same way as the children of Jewish immigrants growing up in New York. And that's what Superman does."
