North Korean Comics

The other day someone told me about an interesting guy called Heinz Insu Fenkl, a literature professor at the State University of New York (SUNY),who’s been translating and studying North Korean comics. The comics are certainly fascinating as is Fenkl’s analysis of them – see here a good article on him and his work with a slide show of DPRK comics in translation from the Global Post.

You can also see a translation of a DPRK comic Blizzard in the Jungle on the Words Without Borders site.
