초록
The presence or introduction of Shakespeare into the condensed imaginary world of cartoons and comic books is a fairly recent phenomenon in Korea, compared to a somewhat long history of reception of Shakespeare on stage. Comics were commonly regarded to be a product of lowbrow subculture, and most Koreans took Shakespeare only as an iconic equivalent of the dramatic creation. In the 1960s and 70s, Korean comics became heavily influenced by an influx of the Japanese comics, or manga, and TV animation series including Iron Arm Atom and Candy. Today, many Korean comic books of Shakespearean adaptations are still under this influence. Unlike other Shakespearean comic books and mangas popular in the Western world, the Korean publishing market mostly targeting young children for their elite education is seen as a unique characteristic. This paper introduces a brief history of comic book adaptations of Shakespeare in Korea and examine the socio-cultural context in which these adaptations are commercially appropriated and educationally circulated
Abstract
The presence or introduction of Shakespeare into the condensed imaginary world of cartoons and comic books is a fairly recent phenomenon in Korea, compared to a somewhat long history of reception of Shakespeare on stage.

In the 1960s and 70s, Korean comics became heavily influenced by an influx of the Japanese comics, or manga, and TV animation series including Iron Arm Atom and Candy. Today, many Korean comic books of Shakespearean adaptations are still under this influence. Unlike other Shakespearean comic books and mangas popular in the Western world, the Korean publishing market mostly targeting young children for their elite education is seen as a unique characteristic. This paper introduces a brief history of comic book adaptations of Shakespeare in Korea and examine the socio-cultural context in which these adaptations are commercially appropriated and educationally circulated
