Hello! My name is Gene Yang. Thanks for visiting my site. I began publishing comic books under the name Humble Comics in 1996. In 1997, I got the Xeric Grant for Gordon Yamamoto and the King of the Geeks. (If you're interested in creating comics yourself, check out the Xeric Foundation. They're a great organization!) Since then I've written and drawn a number of stories in comics. My most recent graphic novel, American Born Chinese, became the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award and the first graphic novel to win the American Library Association's Printz Award. In addition to cartooning, I teach computer science at a Catholic high school in Oakland, California. I currently live in Fremont, California with my lovely wife and children.

If you'd like to talk to me about my comics, using comics in education, or anything else, contact me.
