Book Introduction
"The best science comic, with a tight balance of science and humor." _Kim Nak-ho (capcold), cartoonist researcher If you ever opened a science comic book that your parents bought you as a child, saying, “If you want to read a good comic book, read ‘Informative Comics,’” you probably learned at least one lesson. 'Not all cartoons are fun.' Back in the day, when most cartoons ended with a white-coated doctor and a boy exchanging conversations filled with scientific terms in large speech bubbles, science cartoons were synonymous with 'boring' for children. And as time passes and you grow up, you may have reflected on the wall you built around math and science, and bought a seemingly useful science textbook only to have it thrown into the corner of the bookshelf without even reading a few pages. You must have felt frustrated in front of a science textbook that spewed out all sorts of technical terms with a tone that said, "Everyone knows this much, right?" and thought to yourself, 'If it were even fun, I'd hold out and read it...' |

Publisher's Review
『Nighttime Engineering Student Comics』(hereafter referred to as 『Nighttime Engineering Student Comics』) is different from previous science comics.
It is the product of an effort to not miss out on both fun and science.
To prevent young children from suffering childhood trauma from reading boring science comics and becoming science idiots, a Seoul National University engineering student personally conceived the idea and drew the text and illustrations.
At first, it started out as a simple cartoon where I uploaded an episode about the inventor of the transistor on the Seoul National University community site 'Snulife' right before returning to school with the caption, "I tried drawing an engineering cartoon in the middle of the night." Now, it has become a popular cartoon after being serialized on Facebook, Kakao Plus Friends, and Ddanzi Ilbo for a year and a half, and thanks to readers' wishes to read it as a book, 29 episodes of the series have been revised and supplemented and published.
From famous scientists to lesser-known ones, from calculus learned in high school to AlphaGo, it conveys important figures and events in the history of science through internet humor and witty parodies.
It is different from books that pretend to be comics or books that pretend to be educational books.
This is a real science comic book that introduces the new humanity of scientists we only knew by name, and makes scientists we didn't even know by name friendly.
From Newton to Bill Gates, the superstars of science history have come together on Facebook for a 'drip comic'!
There are probably many people who don't know Newton and Bill Gates, but not many have heard the story of Newton's "keyboard battle" over who invented calculus, or the story of how he went around catching counterfeiters, or the story of Bill Gates, who was planning to study law but ended up taking a math class and solving a world-class problem.
This book has the power to keep you reading until the end, weaving together the lives of famous scientists with captivating storytelling and twists.
Rather than listing achievements in detail or trying to explain difficult science, the book is organized in a way that makes it fun to read, understand the key points, and move on, while briefly and clearly explaining the principles and meaning.
The additional chat interviews that were added while binding the book also provide a lot of fun.
Unlike educational comics where pages containing background explanations or additional information are filled with boring explanatory text and thus turn readers away, the interview, which exquisitely combines the author's signature gags and information, not only makes information that the comics couldn't contain easy to understand in a conversational style, but also provides a different kind of fun from the comics.
Additionally, among the comments left by Facebook readers for each cut, the author and publisher jointly selected the most interesting, sympathetic, and informative comments and placed them next to the comic, creating the feeling of reading the comic together with other readers.
"Night Watchman" is a popular cartoon that has been liked by thousands of people as soon as it is posted on Facebook and Kakao Plus Friends. It is also a science storytelling content that makes people from both humanities and science departments tag and share it with each other, saying things like, "Wow, there's a story like this hidden here?" and "We heard that in class back then, it's so funny, lol."
A comic that everyone from American engineering professors to Korean middle school students laughs and enjoys, a comic that makes teachers burst into laughter when showing it as learning material before class, a comic that tens of thousands of people watch together on Facebook and Kakao Plus Friends and leave comments while waiting for the next episode to be uploaded.
"Night Watchman" is a science comic book that is "first time seeing" and is the best comic book to recommend to someone who is "first time seeing a science comic book."
