Adventures of the Right Hand
It's true: sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover. This is the story of a right hand that gets tired of all its responsibilities and decides to go and see the world. If you're thinking, "Sure, a disembodied hand wandering around by itself seems a little weird, but it's not creepy enough", well, you're in luck. Woojung has also given the hand a little face on the back of the hand, even though I always pictured the fake face of my hand as being on the palm. The hand wanders off and loves life for a little bit, but life in the big city for a disembodied hand is tough. It soon sees the dangers of a life by itself, dealing with rats, pigeons, a cat and finally traffic. At the end of the day, did it really have it so bad when it was attached to a body? Although I'm not a fan of the word "quirky", I don't know how else to describe this. For the love of pete, it's a hand with a face that goes off on its own in search of adventures. Woojung has the perfect style for this type of story, all shadows with unforeseen dangers clearly lurking around every corner. It's unlike most comics I've seen, that's for sure, and is worth a look on that basis alone. $3.95
