From the catalogue
In the comics boom of the 1940s, a legend was born: the Green Turtle. He solved crimes and fought injustice just like the other comics characters. But this mysterious masked crusader was hiding something more than your run-of-the-mill secret identity ... The Green Turtle was the first Asian American super hero.
In the Chinese neighborhood of San Incendio, Hank's mother wants him to become a superhero. Hank is not interested, until gangsters threaten his father's grocery.
