Two Acclaimed Comics Creators Team Up: Exclusive Excerpt From The Eternal Smile
So, you've gotten an e-mail from Prince Henry of Nigeria asking for a loan to help save the royal family. What if your life was so boring that you gave it to him? In "Urgent Request," one of the three short stories in Gene Luen Yang and Derek Kirk Kim's new book The Eternal Smile, a timid young office worker does just that. Kim, author of Same Difference, and Yang, National Book Award nominee for American Born Chinese, team up on three stories of secret identities and self-deception.
Vulture's Comics Page is proud to present an exclusive twelve-page excerpt from Gene Luen Yang and Derek Kirk Kim's book The Eternal Smile, out this month from First Second.
