This is probably the most educational books you’ll pick up
in Artists Alley. It’s the story of a
Korean general named Yi Soon Shin, and how he stood up to the Japanese in the
16th Century. It’s full of
factual information about a guy you’ve probably never heard of before. The first issue is kind of a struggle to get
through, but after that, the historical quality falls away, and it almost
becomes a DEADWOOD-ish version of what happened back then. It’s an interesting story, if you’re
interested in the past. If you liked
CRECY by Warren Ellis, you might like this.
