This week on Indie Comics Spotlight, Tony is joined by Professor Keri Griffin of Siena Heights University and Lourdes University. They will be tackling that tough, but brilliant graphic memoir by George Takei: They Called us Enemy

Long before George Takei braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future.

Top Shelf Productions, based in Marietta, Georgia, has published critically acclaimed and popularly beloved graphic novels since 1997. Now an imprint of IDW Publishing, Top Shelf continues to showcase the vanguard of the comics medium, publishing works of literary sophistication, visionary artistry, and personal resonance. The company was founded by Chris Staros and Brett Warnock.
