A bit of good news; that shockingly antisemitic South Korean comic book that was the subject of a couple of recent LGF posts has been taken off the market.

A South Korean publisher agreed Thursday to withdraw a best-selling children’s book from stores after meeting with a prominent anti-Semitism watchdog group that accused the author of spreading messages echoing Nazi propaganda.

The series of comic books, titled “Meon Nara, Yiwoot Nara,” or “Far Countries, Near Countries” and authored by visual arts professor Rhie Won-bok, purports to teach children about the world and has sold more than 10 million copies since the first volume was published in 1987.

One of three books on the US published in 2004 contains a chapter claiming Jews were the driving force for the hatred that led to the Sept. 11 attacks, that they exert control over all US media and also prevent Korean-Americans from succeeding in the United States.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center met with the author at his publishing company Thursday in Seoul, confronting Rhie with copies from the group’s archives of the early 20th century Nazi magazine Der Stuermer to show its similarity to caricatures in the South Korean books.

“I asked him straight out, ‘Where did you get your stuff from, did you get it from Die Stuermer?’” Cooper told The Associated Press.
