ABSTRACT
North Korean graphic novels (kŭrimch’aek) about the Korean War are worthy of consideration because they challenge reader expectations, and these surprises provide insight into some North Korean state priorities in the new millennium. The action-packed narratives often deal with risqué topics, like male–female sexual relationships and life outside the DPRK. The narratives demonstrate a profound understanding of world history and culture. Overall, these texts exhibit the influence of the stylistic innovations introduced by Shin Sang-ok’s cultural transformation of the 1980s. The stories, however, also reveal a deeply nationalistic subtext in which the central female character is always forced to assess her loyalties to the nation.
