Book Introduction
An all-star match featuring a new generation of Korean comics A dazzling moment of transcendence drawn by five main characters with special abilities! There is a phrase that always appears when introducing the works of young writers. 'Here and now'. The meeting of young cartoonists, who made us reflect on such inertia, took place right here and now, in what now feels like a somewhat inertial phrase. AJS from 『Slow Rainy Season』, King Gol & Jaryong from 『Can't Stop Like This』, Dr. Gosari from 『Paradise』, Kim Yirang from 『Cloud Movement Speed』, and Bone, Blood, and Flesh from 『Legal Pirate Parfait』. The most active artists in Korea's comics and webtoon world have come together in one book. As the name of the series, 'Young Cartoonists' Theme Short Story Collection' suggests, young cartoonists, each creating their own unique world of work, freely drew short stories centered around a common theme. There aren't many places where you can see short stories by cartoonists who are publishing and serializing their works, focusing on long-form works on webtoon platforms. Short stories are a field where the creator's individuality and imagination are fully revealed, something that cannot be experienced in long stories. A collection of short stories themed by young cartoonists offers an opportunity to experience a narrative charm different from that of long stories. The stories of six authors who meet in one book are all different genres, including martial arts, dystopia, fantasy, youth, and drama. AJS's "The Case of the Disappearance of the Land Documents in Gayari, Haman-gun," which draws from his childhood experiences, and Kim Yi-rang's "When the Wind Blows," which captures the moment of growth of the immature "us," offer a glimpse into the warm world of works that the two authors have created. Authors Golwang and Jaryong, who are currently serializing school novels, have attempted a new martial arts genre through “Yasa,” thereby expanding the diversity of their works. "The Smile of the Quiet World" by Dr. Gosari, which has a refreshing twist, and "From Death" by Bones, Blood, and Flesh, which can be considered a fairy tale for adults, show a unique atmosphere and completeness that is only possible in the limited space of a "short story." The first theme is ‘superpower’. Female protagonists with extraordinary abilities are reborn as their true selves through their determination and courage to pursue a better future. Through this dazzling moment of transcendence, I hope that the word 'female power' will approach a new meaning of 'female power'. |

Publisher's Review
The standard format for published comics is 148*210mm, and the power of black and white comics unfolds within it!
A black and white manuscript of approximately 50 pages, 148mm wide and 210mm high.
This is the content of the manuscript commissioned to the participating authors.
'Young Cartoonist Theme Short Story Collection' is based on original black-and-white published manuscripts, with the intention of promoting published cartoons.
The six artists who are creating works based on webtoons are also from a generation that grew up reading and keeping comic books close by.
They revealed that they participated out of their love for 'paper comics', and in the 'Author Q&A' included at the end of the book, they opened up about their feelings as readers who grew up reading comics and as creators who draw comics.
"I feel that comic books allow for a lot more diverse directing than webtoons.
(Omitted) There are many options to add fun by directing the texture and thickness of the paper." _Dr. Gosari
"When I think of 'comics,' what comes to mind is single-volume comics.
I like that paper manuscripts have limited space, so the author's intentions can be maximized.
It's also good that everyone is exposed to Yayagi in the same way." _Jaryong
The infinite scrolling world of webtoons is considered an advantage and a fun element.
Paper comics, which are based on the world of the 'ground', also have a direction and charm that are only possible there, which was thought to be limited.
A meeting of writers who have a greater love for comics and the 'books' that contain them than anyone else.
For those who grew up reading comics, 『Women's Power』 will bring a sense of nostalgia and authenticity, while for the webtoon generation, it will offer the physicality and vivid sensation of a book.
