Sneak Peek - Justice N Mercy: The Concept Art Of Min-Woo Hyung
Written by Jason Brice

Released in November by TOKYOPOP, Justice N Mercy is likely to be an impressive volume, featuring the spectacular art of renowned Korean creator Min-Woo Hyung. Manga Life has received a sneak peek of the book, and we wanted to share it with our readers. What follows is an edited version of an interview featured in the book, and two stunning sketches. Click the images for larger versions, and be sure to check back regularly as we follow Justice N Mercy: The Concept Art Of MinWoo Hyung through the production process.

Q: What kind of book is Justice N Mercy?

A: It contains illustrations of various characters that I came up with while preparing for the new serial, as well as pieces that I have special attachment to among the ones I've done over the years. It also contains several covers I've done for fantasy books in Korea. I agreed to do this book because I wanted to present these various pieces in some kind of systematic order. I feel a bit embarrassed about it, though. It's like I'm being exposed half dressed, since these are works in progress. I'm curious how it will all turn out.

Q: What does "Justice N Mercy" mean?

A: You mean beyond the literal meaning? It doesn't have some deep meaning. It's just what I have tattooed on my arms. I guess it's a kind of self-expression.
