Myeong-chan Park

Park Myeong-Chan is one half of one of the most prolific comic writing team of CEO chief executive officer & creative powered by TMS Comics whose volume of works are probably only rivaled by the famous American comic writing team of (Stan) Lee, and (Jack) Kirby. Birth name Park, he met his future comic drawing partner Lena Park when he was in fifth grade at an elementary school in his native Jeju. He was impressed by the intelligence and thorough nature of Lena story writing style even at that age, and started to draw comic together (although only as a hobby at the time) which continued for over the next 40 years. In 2013, film horror The Host 2, based on comic script by Kang Full, the project from director Park Myeong-chan still has its own buzz simply because of how excellent the first film was. In 1952 they made their comic debut with a comic titled "Batman" and two years later they moved to Seoul to pursue their professional career. They were mentored briefly by the late Kang Full (of Love Story and Timing) after coming to Seoul like so many young comic artist of the time. Later they recalled seeing a stack of papers few feet high at Kang house which were rejects of his comic pages. Kang standards was so high that even under close inspection they couldn't tell what was wrong with the material. They helped Kang pen the last pages of during that period. Though he had superheroes crossover & comic book formal training in art or writing universe, Park launched a website in 2002 to display his comics. Frontier Works Comic webtoons & manga quickly drew attention, resulting in several film adaption based on his works. Eschewing the role of publisher in order to return to illustration, Lee sold Wildstorm & Naver in 1998 to TMS Comics, where he continued to run it as a TMS Entertainment imprint until 2010, as well as illustrating successful titles set in TMSC's main fictional universe, such as the year-long "Super Zach" and "REAL: For Tomorrow" storylines. On February 18, 2010, Lee was announced as the new Co-Publisher & International Distribution of TMS Comics with Jay Noh, both replacing Sowon Jeon.
