Relatively recent magazines such as 'Owho' and 'Herb' provided space for great mature comics series targeted to the adult female readership. The importance of 'Poptoon' is that it is reviving the comics magazine for adult male comics, and is hoped to expand the market greatly because it is run by a major media company. Guess which: the Hankyore Group, which publishes the daily paper this article is from. It is perfectly okay to have high hopes for the new magazine (I have such hopes as well), but facts are facts.

It should read adult "serial comic magazines" instead of "comic books" in general. There have been plenty of great works of mature comics published in Korea. However after the late 90's they have been largely coming out in the graphic novel format or have been serialized in daily newpapers and online sites rather than any dedicated magazine. Hope this helps clarifying the situation. Well, it’s a disater-level mistranslation of the original Korean article. It should read adult “serial comic magazines” instead of “comic books” in general.
