Marvels and Monsters-Unmasking Asian Images in U.S. Comics, 1942-1986 and Alt. Comics-Asian American Artists Reinvent the Comic, 2012

In 2012, MOCA presented two exhibitions that trace the depictions of Asian Americans in comics; Marvels and Monsters: Unmasking Asian Images in U.S. Comics, 1942-1986 and Alt. Comics: Asian American Artists Reinvent the Comic. They were shown simultaneously to compare and contrast the way Asian Americans have been perceived and represented in comics. Marvels and Monsters showcased and discussed the various character archetypes of Asian characters in comics such as the depiction of Fu Manchu as a manifestation of Yellow Peril. The show Alt. Comics, in contrast, featured the works of 10 Asian American comic artists that offered a critique of the older representations and reiterated the way they view their changing identities in America.

2012年，美国华人博物馆推出了两个展览，以追溯在漫画中对美国华裔的描述，它们是“奇迹和怪物：揭开美国漫画书中亚洲人的面纱，1942-1986”和“另一种漫画：美国亚洲艺术家改造的漫画书。”它们同时展出比较和对比了亚裔美国人在漫画中被感知和被表达的方式。“奇迹和怪物”展示并讨论了在漫画中各种亚裔角色的人物原型，譬如将傅满洲描绘为黄祸时期的代表。作为对比，“另一种漫画”展示了10位美国亚裔漫画家的作品，这些作品批判了旧时的代表作，并重申了他们对亚裔在美国身份变化的看法。
