About [life], dark but beautiful, bleak but affectionate

A new and powerful graphic novel, 『Regeneration』, born from the imagination of [what if], has been published by Mimesis.
Jo Seong-hwan, who works as a storyboard artist for film and drama series, fully displays the charm of the graphic novel genre through his first work, 『Regeneration』.
As director Bong Joon-ho's recommendation suggests, this film is a blend of [unpredictable humor and brutal violence].
The main character has an adult body, but his [head] seems to be lacking something.
The head loses its leg while saving the life of a black cat in danger.
Dr. Oh Myung-jun, a guardian of the head and a past life sciences pioneer, uses unique medical technology to regenerate damaged parts of the head.
But the black cat dies shortly after having a brief exchange of words with the head and the animal language.
From the moment he witnesses this death, the head begins to gradually acquire a more human appearance.
Meanwhile, someone's deliberate murder occurs, and the body is reborn as [Mary] by Dr. Oh Myung-jun.
This new being is strange and frightening to the head, but it becomes an important being that expands the head's consciousness.
The people around Murray and Mary are filled with people who see life as a skill, life as a price, and life as something selfish.
However, the two men and women live as altruistic human beings who choose their own lives, not as mere technological achievements created by the hands of scientists.
『Regeneration』, which runs from beginning to end for the emotion of the last page, is a work that melts Jo Seong-hwan's personal experiences and emotions under the imagination of [what if].
The assumption of [what if] is the duty and homework of all creators.
Since the situation and dialogue of the last chapter were already decided before the book title was even created, the reader can feel that they have entered the true [Jo Seong-hwan World] from the moment they open the first page.
