Inhaltsangabe

Discover how Bruce Lee introduced gung fu to millions across America through his historic role as Kato in this dynamic graphic novel by APALA Award–winning author Teresa Robeson and Eisner-nominated, APALA Honor–winning illustrator Ryan Inzana.

Presenting Who HQ Graphic Novels: an exciting addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling Who Was? series!

Follow Bruce Lee as he breaks ground and makes gung fu (also known as kung fu) popular through the 1960s show The Green Hornet—pushing boundaries as the first Asian American man in a major supporting television role. A story of determination, dedication, and innovation, this graphic novel immerses readers in Bruce’s journey to stardom as he fights to authentically showcase his martial-arts skills on screen. This powerful tale is brought to life by gripping narrative and vivid full-color illustrations that jump off the page.
