삼국지
1978년부터 1980년까지 고우영이 《일간스포츠》에 연재했으며 만화로 한정짓지 않더라도 《삼국지연의》에 대한 현대적 재해석을 한 작품 중에서도 뛰어난 작품이라는 평가를 받는다. 원작과는 다르게 유비는 그리고 제갈량은 아름답고 명석한 모습 뒤에 권력욕을 감춘 간웅으로 묘사하는 등 등장인물들을 재해석하고 고우영 특유의 해학과 풍자가 빛을 발하는 대표작이다. 2000년엔 MBC 표준FM에서 <배철수의 만화열전 고우영 삼국지>란 제목으로 라디오 드라마로 만들어져 인기를 끌었다. 전 10권으로 문학동네에서 컬러판과 흑백판으로 출간되고 있다.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms : Samgukji
Serialized in Ilgan Sports from 1978 to 1980, Ko Woo Young’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms is widely regarded as one of the most insightful modern reinterpretations of the classic epic. He subverted traditional portrayals—depicting Liu Bei as foolish and Zhuge Liang as a beautiful yet power-hungry strategist—infusing the narrative with sharp satire and humor.
In 2000, the work was adapted into a popular radio drama on MBC Standard FM. It is currently published by Minumsa in both color and black-and-white editions (10 volumes).
