3. Book Intro

 

This is the twelfth work by Kang Full, a cartoonist who releases new material every year and who is also a pioneer of the current webtoon culture. Kang says that he wanted to write a more absurd and carefree story before he got older. That desire gave birth to Moving, a story about people with superpowers that’s more than just a mere action comic. Moving is about a boy who cheers for his friend’s dream, and it’s also about an agent who conceals himself from greater powers to protect himself. It’s a historical comic that portrays the tears of “monsters” who have suffered the pain of division, and it’s also a comic for all parents who must be infinitely strong in front of their children.
