A White Marvel Employee Has Admitted He Used An Asian Pseudonym To Write Comics

C.B. Cebulski, writing under the name Akira Yoshida, was even praised at one point as one of “Japan’s greatest comic book creators.”

Yoshida contributed work to a number of high-profile Marvel, Dark Horse, and Dreamwave titles, including Conan and the Demons of Khitai, X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, and Thor: Son of Asgard. Many of Cebulski’s stories written under the Yoshida pen name included Japanese settings or East Asian tropes.

Yoshida was praised as one of the first nonwhite voices to really understand writing for a Western audience.

I think it’s important to note that this isn’t just any Marvel employee; this is the recently appointed Editor in Chief.
