<div><br>
</div>
<div>In addition to David's recommendations (that 30-page translation of Hong Gildong is really quite</div>
<div>good!), go to my website and look on the "Comics & Manhwa" link. You'll find a bunch of links</div>
<div>to excerpts from various DPRK comics as well as my introductions and essays. There's also</div>
<div>a gallery of some of the covers from South Korean comics I translated when I was in grad school.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And here is a link to pdfs of my long-ago translation of a Korean comic book adaptation of </div>
<div>Wu Cheng-en's Journey to the West:</div>

<div><br>
I'm currently doing a blog "case study" for the comic class I teach, and I suppose you could</div>
<div>technically construe it as a Korean comic book, since I am classified as kyopo these days.</div>
<div>57 pages are "thumbnailed" here. If you want, I can send you the first 12 pages that are</div>
<div>finished. </div>

<br>
Kim Dong-hwa's "Colors" books can be found here:</div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mangahere.com/manga/the_color_trilogy/">http://www.mangahere.com/manga/the_color_trilogy/</a></div>
<div>(as well as lots of other manhwa if you're looking).</div>
<div>I have a short essay on Kim I can also send you if you're interested.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

Heinz Insu Fenkl's article and translations "Inside North Korea" in Azalea Journal of Korean Literature & Culture Vol. 2 has some references, including an excerpt from "Great General Mighty-Wing." The current issue, Vol 6, has an intro and translation of Shin
Dong Wu's serial cartoon <i>Hong Gildong. </i>Volume 5 has an amazing series of drawing by Choi Ho-Cheol, "Images of Seoul."

Can members recommend English-language materials on Korean comics suitable for undergraduates? John Lent's writings have been mentioned, but are there others?<br>
