The author Gene Luen Yang started in 1996 under his own label "Humble Comics" with "Yamamoto and the King of the Geeks," for which he later received the Xeric Grant. Since then, he has written and illustrated numerous comics for First Second Books. With his work "American Born Chinese," he was able to impress fans and critics in 2006, earning the American Library Association's Printz Award as well as an Eisner Award for "Best Graphic Album - New." The collaborative project "The Eternal Smile," created with Derek Kirk Kim in 2009, and the graphic novel "Prime Baby," released in 2010, also received Eisner Awards. Since 2012, Yang has been working with Avatar creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, along with the female artist studio Gurihiru, on the continuation series "Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise." Another Avatar series, "Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search," is already in the works. In addition to his work as an author and illustrator, Yang teaches Computer Science at a high school and as an instructor at Hamline University. The artists, known as Gurihiru, are a team of two Japanese artists, Sasaki and Kawano, who illustrate for comics, games, and animation studios. Most recently, they worked on illustrating and coloring for Marvel's Thor and the Warriors Four, Power Pack, Tails of the Pet Avengers, and World War Hulks: Wolverine vs. Captain America.
