Comics in South Korea.

[Evil Parsnip]

State of the comic union here in Korea.

Clearly DC is king here... I haven't seen a single marvel character (except in a stack of comics in a old book shop in Seoul), but DC has a presence here. Superman seems to be the guy. I've seen superman shirts, jewelry and jackets. Even seen supes written on a wall.

Since American comics usually come from GIs stationed here I am quite surprised.

just a FYI briefiing.

I remember visiting a few comic shops in Korea when I was stationed there two decades ago. In my off time if I wasn't hitting the bars I was either at the comic shop trying to improve my Korean reading skills or at the video arcade getting rid of my 100 won coins.
