5: Matt and Cale Read "Superman Smashes the Klan" with Chris Manson
Description
In this episode, Scottish-Chinese comics writer and artist Chris Manson joins our two comic aficionados to read "Superman Smashes the Klan." Written by Gene Luen Yang with art by Gurihiru, this graphic novel is based on the 1940s "Adventures of Superman" radio show where Superman befriends a Chinese immigrant family and confronts a stand-in for the Ku Klux Klan.
Our very special guest, Chis Manson, is the cartoonist behind "Horror Buffet" and the upcoming "Bad Gal Bodega." Chris shares his personal connections to the story and relates the experiences of the Lees to his own experiences growing up as a mixed raced Scottish-Chinese child in Glasgow. Cale likewise reflects on his experiences growing up as a Sri Lankan-American in what is our most heartfelt and powerful episode yet!
