[PHOTO] Ko Kyung-pyo: I've collected 300,000 won worth of graphic novels

Ko Kyung-pyo [Lee Jin-hyuk/10Asia]

"When it comes to novels, I like all sort of them regardless of whether they're Japanese or whatever but I like to collect graphic novels in particular. I have 'Green Lantern,' 'Batman' and 'Civil War.' And they're all in color so no matter how cheap they get, they're at least 15,000 won per book and I've collected about 300,000 won worth of them. Either my friends bought them for me or I bought them myself. Oh, I also like illustrations by director Tim Burton. There's book of his called 'The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy' and I think it's very sad. [sighs] To think that the oyster boy's dad eats his own child for stamina...... [laughs] I'd like to try going into Tim Burton's mind. Even his movies "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Beetle Juice" show that he has an occult element and a sense of humor of his own. I really like that about him."
