Past Commander Mike Yaguchi served on a panel at the latest Emerald City Comic Con with artist and comic creator Tony Moy. View the session by using your phone app camera, scan the QR code to view the video.
Tony talks about how he found out about these WWII Asian heroes during the pandemic and the Asian hate going on at the time. Learning about the 442nd RCT has become a passion, and his original story about the battle to save the Lost Battalion is something he expects to expand beyond the original 5 or 6 issues he originally planned.
It was evident by the crowd attending that he is reaching a much broader audience, including young people and teachers. Tony Moy lives in Chicago, but his art has taken him to the 442 foxholes in France.
