From the author of "Ojingogo," another tale of enchantment and
adventure
"Jinchalo "is Korean for "Really?" and that question (formulated
variously as "What is and what isn't?" "What is real?" and "What is
imagined?") is at the heart of this book. A companion to Matthew
Forsythe's vastly successful "Ojingogo," "Jinchalo "stars the same
little girl as its heroine. When the mischievous shape-shifter
Jinchalo hatches from a mysterious egg, he starts our heroine
adventuring anew. Magical troubles drag the pair out of the safety
of her home, through the small village where she resides, up, up,
and away. In the course of their flight, they visit a robot garden,
follow a vine into the clouds, and leave the village far
behind.
These comics are firmly rooted in Korean folktales and stylistic
conventions, with a playful, joyous drawn line. "Jinchalo "welcomes
readers back into Forsythe's Miyazaki-tinged dreamscape where
spotted octopi fly and bears give piggyback rides, where
hummingbirds are larger than people and a sad furry monster wearing
a bowler hat lurks around every corner. Forsythe uses page space
innovatively in this wordless, panel-less book, and his
storytelling is compelling for all ages, both simple and
intricately detailed.
