In 2014, Gene Yang shared with Heinemann’s Digital Library an “essay in panels” on Graphic Novels in the Classroom. With permission from Gene, we wanted to share the essay on the Heinemann blog. Gene also spoke with NPR’s Morning Edition about his work on the New Super-Man, which we’ve embedded below (New Super-Man, Issue # 1, is available today).
