Giant Robot is proud to celebrate the release of Secret Asian Man: The Daily Days with a signing by writer and artist Tak Toyoshima.

Secret Asian Man is a comic strip that is often brutally honest commentary on the state of race relations in America. It focuses on what makes us the same as well as different, through the lens of Asian American protagonist Osamu "SAM" Takahashi. Between the covers of this 232-page collection, no one is safe from SAM's keen observations on race, religion, politics, sexual orientation, and everything else that gets people's undies in a bunch. (It's also quite funny.)

Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, as well as an online equivalent. Toyoshima will be signing the book from 6:00 to 8:00 on Friday, April 23. For more information about the author, GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
