If you've loved comics for the last 15 years, you've likely loved the work of Gene Luen Yang. The former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature has created stunning works of fiction including AMERICAN BORN CHINESE, NEW SUPER-MAN, and BOXERS AND SAINTS. His stories combine innovative formal cartooning techniques and deeply resonant themes to create singular works of fiction. And now Yang is back with his latest DC Comics work, SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN.

Debuting this October, SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN is a brand new work from DC's kid-oriented line of comics. The story follows Roberta Lee and Tommy Lee, two siblings who move with their family to Metropolis in 1946. There, they encounter both Superman and the KKK.

Watch as Yang talks to the Beat about why his Superman story is rooted in the Asian American experience and what it means to craft a universal narrative through the lens of specificity.
