If you’ve been reading graphic novels at all in recent years, you’ve likely been exposed to the genius of Gene Luen Yang. His “American Born Chinese” has won several awards, his current run on “New Super-Man” is refreshing, and he was recently awarded the Genius Grant from the MacArthur Fellows Program.

To enter the contest, tweet your pictures with the hashtag #Monster45! Good luck!
