1st printing. Story and art by Matthew Forsythe. NOTE: Story continued from Ojingogo GN (2008). Jinchalo is Korean for "Really?" and that question is at the heart of this book. A companion to Ojingogo, Jinchalo stars the same little girl as its heroine. When the mischevious shapeshifter Jinchalo hatches from a mysterious egg, he starts our heroine adventuring anew. Magical troubles drag the pair out of the safety of her home. These comics are firmly rooted in Korean folktakes and stylistic conventions, with a playful, joyous line to create a Miyazaki-tinged dreamscape where spotted octopi fly and bears give piggyback rides. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 7 1/2-in., 152 pages, PC/PB&W. All Ages Cover price $19.95.
