Similarly to the Japanese editions, there is a variety of
formats published in the Korean market - I have my suspicions as
to how many of them were actually licensed. For the
majority of the books featured below I have only ever seen the
image online, and many of them appear to be "stand alone"
publications. The only one I have seen in person are the
Saesonyeon Four and Wonder & Learn editions, so if anyone
else has access to any of the other formats please let me know
so I can fill in the appropriate details.

SAESONYEON FOUR 새소년 1984 소녀 탐정 낸시 드루 (Nancy Drew Girl Detective) 캐롤린 키인 Carolyn Key This was the most coordinated effort by a Korean publisher to issue a Nancy Drew series. The artwork is original and if an illustrator is credited, it's in Korean so I can't share that information with you. The artist appears to have used the UK format "C" as a model in creating his/her composition. As demonstrated here there are disparate elements fro  m the
story (bats, spooky house, ghostly figure) that are placed
in a montage with a giant Nancy figure at the
center. So while it is not a full on copycat of the
UK artwork, the inspiration seems pretty clear.There are 4 internal illustrations which do not look familiar to me, i.e., I'm pretty sure they were created for this edition. They are nicely executed line drawings. |

WONDER AND
LEARN 2011 Nancy Drew and the Crew Clue The first four stories from the Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew series, aimed at early readers, were published in what appears to be a way for young Koreans to learn English. The full English text is in what we would consider the "front" and then the full text is repeated in Korean in the "back." Th e publishers also
marketed some CDs and MP3s of these stories in what I
think is a Read-Along type program.While the U.S. logo of the Crew Clue is recycled, some very cute original artwork was created for the cover (I have not been able to determine the artist). There are also internal line drawings. |
