Week 04: The Comic Book


This week I saw a very familiar comic book with characters I often saw as a child. Among them, the work I read was Carl Barks' "Uncle Scrooge - Message from Mysterious Island". When I was a child, I saw a comic book that was the beginning of the existence of Disney Channel or video. Unlike the comic strip, I saw last time, the overall story was long and there were many stories of a short story. And unlike the original comics, the printed comics contain a lot of advertisements.

If you look closely at Comics, you can feel the traces of hand painting one by one, and you can see that you are full of humanity when you look at each panel. One of them is that you cannot paint the color neatly. It was interesting because it seemed to be able to feel the feeling of the old comics compared to the digital comics that are coming out these days.

Because the usual comics are short episodes, there are many contents to be conveyed to each panel. The size of the horse balloon that one character has is large, and the ratio of the panel is very high when looking at the ratio of the panel. For example, if you look at pages 21 and 22, you can see that there are so many lines. If you talk well, you can enjoy comics slowly, and if you talk bad, it can take too long to read and become boring.

However, it is always new to feel the difference in interpretation when you look at it from a childhood perspective and grow up and look at it from an adult perspective. The three-dollar book’s touch gives you a different feeling in the time.

Week 08: Stereotype and the ethics of representation

This week I read "American Born Chinese" written by Gene Luen Yang. When I saw these stories at first, I thought that each of them had different contents because three stories were divided. The first story is related to the legend that The Monkey King is the main character. The second is a story about a first-generation immigrant boy named Jin Wang, who is related to school life, and the third is about a Chinese cousin, Chin-Kee, who visited a white boy's school called Danny, the main character. But if you read these stories to the end, you can see that these characters are all the same person. Their journey shows that it is the main content to find their identity. In the middle of the content, the main characters were able to indirectly see the stereotypes about Asians in the United States, but I thought that it was more empathic because I had experienced it in reality. I think that the story is a work that reflects reality because it contains all the ideas of the goo...

Week 01: Wordless Comics

This week, I got visual pleasure by reading Shaun Tan's “The Arrival”. Unlike comics, which are written or shown in conversation, these works proceed through sequential images of pictures. This kind of graphics is called wordless “Graphic Novel”. When we look at the title "The Arrival", we can guess that the story of this work has arrived somewhere away from somewhere. And in reality, this work proceeds through the frame of each episode arriving somewhere. This work shows the speaker who lives the life of immigrants in the imaginary world with beautiful illustrations. In the early days, scenes seemed to be almost realistic life, but as the screen progressed, it showed that it was a work with a lot of fictional imagination images through delicate description screen composition. The scenes show similar forms of scenes such as dramas, movies, and animations. On page 47, the speaker uses a technique that makes the image blurred as he gets his mind to the point o...

Week 09: A wide world of comics

As soon as I saw the word "Pyongyang" in the list of books to read this week, I started to read this book with a familiar feeling. I am a South Korean, so the word Pyongyang is very familiar, but it is a divided country between South and North Korea, so the South Korean nationality does not have the authority to visit North Korea. So I started to read this book with the idea that I could see the presence of the place where the same culture and history of the past were. "Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea" is a book written by Guy Delisle. Delisle is a Canadian Quebec writer who wrote a book about his two months at a French animation company in Pyongyang, "Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea". North Korea has all the bureaucracy of totalitarian closure, which contains his experience of expressing the difficulties he has experienced in his life in Pyongyang. The overall picture has a monotonous tone, so it was very suitable to express a closed atmospher...
