Jinchalo

by matt

So I finished this book this week and sent it off to the publisher! It’s about 120 pages of wordless comics – and a companion to my first book, Ojingogo. The “story” is stand-alone though and is a sort of very loose retelling of the Jack and the beanstalk fairy tale with elements of Korean folk tales and comics with a lot of my own dreams and other nonsense thrown in.

Drawn & Quarterly posted a little preview here.

The book should be out in February, 2012.

Here is what the finished page checklist looks like. I had one of these for ojingogo too. It becomes worn and tattered and filling in a square or two at the end of each day is a great feeling.
