The critically acclaimed family comedy series Fresh Off the Boat (Tuesdays at 9/8c on ABC) comes to the world of comics for Free Comic Book Day 2017 in an original story by award-winning writer Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, New Super-Man) and artist Jorge Corona (Feathers, Teen Titans Go!). Based on the memoir by chef and restauranteur Eddie Huang, Fresh Off the Boat is the story of a Taiwanese-American family adjusting to life in Orlando, Florida in the 1990s and comically explores themes of immigration, assimilation, and identity. BOOM! Studios teams with producers 20th Century Fox Television and the creative team of Fresh Off the Boat to capture the show's authentic spirit and humor in comic form.
