Banned Book Club by Kim Hyun Sook and Ryan Estrada with art by Hyung-Ju Ko, a memoir of Sook’s college years under a repressive Korean government, was published by Iron Circus Comics and nominated for an Eisner Award this year. Chugong’s Solo Leveling, an action fantasy manhwa that started out as an online webtoon, has been a bestseller in print for Yen Press. Drawn and Quarterly has published several manhwa a year since 2017, and their 2019 manhwa, Grass by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim, a powerful story of sexual slavery during WWII, won the Cartoonist Studio Prize for Best Print Comic of the Year and was nominated for two Eisner awards.

The right side of each two-page spread identifies that child, pictures the individual as an adult, and explains the contributions to history. The left side of each two-page spread asks a question-“Have I told you that you are creative?” “Have I told you that you are brave?” “Have I told you that you have your own song?”-and shows the sisters approaching another child. How you laugh and sunshine spills into the room? How the sound of your feet running from afar brings dancing rhythms to my day? Have I told you lately how wonderful you are?
