Contdown to Halloween 2020 HAUNTED LOVE "Eye Of Beauty"

For centuries, beautiful women have been muses for artists who truly loved them...

...as this never-reprinted story from Charlton's Haunted Love #7 (1975) demonstrates!

It's odd to see panel pages in that art style in full-color, isn't it?

We're used to seeing manga and manhwa in b/w or two-color!

Sanho Kim (or Kim San-ho) was already an acclaimed writer/artist in South Korea before coming to the US in 1966.

Illustrating a wide variety of genres including romance, horror, war, and martial arts, Sanho worked primarily for Charlton (who published this tale in Haunted Love #9 in 1975), with occasional work for Warren (where he also wrote the stories he illustrated), Marvel, and Skywald, totaling over several hundred stories.

Sanho returned to South Korea in 1996 and continues to write and illustrate to this day.

He received the Order of Cultural Merit (much like the Kennedy Center Honors in America) in 2008.

Halloween HeartBreak GHOSTLY TALES "Promise" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Protaganists...

Pursued by Japanese invaders, a wounded Korean soldier comes upon a house inhabited by two sisters who agree to aid him upon condition that he marry one of them.

He does so, and when the Japanese squad arrives, the sisters reveal themselves to be expert swordswomen who kill the entire squad...

The phrase "Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned!" apparently applies to women in all cultures.

Here's writer/artist Sanho Kim explaining the basis of this type of tale...

Halloween HeartBreak GHOSTLY TALES "Promise" Part 1

Though Haunted Love was Charlton's Gothic romance title...

...ghostly love stories like this unique bi-lingual tale could pop up anywhere in the publisher's comic line!

Based on a classic Korean folk tale, this fascinating tale, scripted and illustrated by Sanho Kim was an experiment that, unfortunately, was never repeated.

HAUNTED LOVE "Death Waits for Moonrise"

Welcome to a month of Gothic Romance, beginning with manga...

...or more specifically, manhwa, by the first Korean artist in American comics, Sanho Kim.

It's odd to see panel pages in that art style in full-color, isn't it?

We're used to seeing manga and manhwa in b/w or two-color!

Sanho Kim (or Kim San-ho) was already an acclaimed writer/artist in South Korea before coming to the US in 1966.

Sanho returned to South Korea in 1996 and continues to write and illustrate at the age of 72.

He received the Order of Cultural Merit (much like the Kennedy Center Honors in America) in 2008.

There's a kool article about him HERE.

And, you'll be seeing more of his work on this blog.
