This is the second of 8 trailer for Secret Identities. The chapter is entitled “9066”, which can be found on Page 25 of SECRET IDENTITIES: The Asian American Superhero Anthology (in stores April 2009). The story centers around a Japanese American superhero who is sent into an internment camp after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942 in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor — using his authority as Commander-in-Chief to exercise war powers to send ethnic groups to internment camps.
Executive Order 9066 was finally rescinded by Gerald Ford on February 19, 1976.
“9066” was written by Jonathan Tseui and drawn by Jerry Ma — and is one of the several “shadow history” pieces in the book inspired by actual historic events pertaining to Asians in America.
