The Awl, the critically-acclaimed Korean webtoon from Hellbound creator Choi Gyu-seok is getting an English edition from ABLAZE in December.
Set in the latter half of the 2000s, against the backdrop of"Pureumi," a fictional superstore chain in South Korea, the work unfolds with a focus on two protagonists: Yi Su-in, who has been instructed by the corporation to dismiss workers unjustly; and Gu Go-sin, a labor activist.
A man of principles, Su-in is someone who cannot restrain outspoken criticism and is constantly at odds with the world. Though he has quit a career in the armed forces to live quietly and chosen an ordinary job, he once again clashes against the world because the company has ordered him to drive out employees by force.
Aiding Su-in is Go-sin, a cool-headed and deft labor activist who runs a labor counseling center near the Pureumi chain. Unlike Su-in, who has difficulty getting along with people and sternly sticks to rules, he approaches others without hesitation and even resorts to extreme measures at times to accomplish goals.
Choi Gyu-Seok's art depicts with finesse all the adventures of this shock of two worlds and, at the same time, offers an amazing portrait of a complex Korean society, crossed by multiple tensions.is a very special title, and we are proud to bring it to the ABLAZE catalog and to English readers for the first time," says, co-founder and publisher of ABLAZE.
