독립만화계의 인기 작가 마영신의 <엄마들>은 가장 가까운 가족이지만, 외려 가장 모르는 ‘엄마’의 세계를 다룬 만화이다. 마영신은 한국 창작물에서 늘 조연이나 엑스트라에 머물렀던 존재에 주목했다.
남편 도박 빚만 갚다가 젊은 시절 다 보내고 노후 걱정에 막막한 엄마, 등산복을 빼입고 아귀찜 집에서 술에 취한 엄마, 헬스장에서 말을 건 신사에게 설레는 엄마, 일터에서 용역업체 소장에게 해고 협박을 당하는 엄마…. 적나라하게 펼쳐지는 그들의 사생활은 차라리 모른 척하고 싶은 치정멜로이기도 하고, 단단한 현실감으로 가슴을 먹먹하게 만드는 다큐멘터리이기도 하다.
마영신은 엄마의 모성애와 희생이 당연한 것이라거나 나이가 들면 삶의 지혜가 생길 거라는 기대를 유쾌하게 전복시키며 아무도 얘기해주지 않았던 우리 시대 엄마들의 목소리를 들려준다.

An outrageously funny book about middle-aged women that reexamines romance, lust, and gender norms
Lee Soyeon, Myeong-ok, and Yeonjeong are all mothers in their mid-fifties. And they’ve had it. They can no longer bear the dead weight of their partners or the endless grind of menial jobs where their bosses control everything, down to how much water they can drink. Although Lee Soyeon divorced her husband years ago after his gambling drove their family into bankruptcy, she finds herself in another tired and dishonest decade-long relationship with Jongseok, a slimy waiter at a nightclub. Meanwhile, Myeong-ok is having an illicit affair with a younger man, and Yeonjeong, whose husband suffers from erectile dysfunction, has her eye on an acquaintance from the gym. Bored with conventional romantic dalliances, these women embrace outrageous sexual adventures and mishaps, ending up in nightclubs, motels, and even the occasional back-alley brawl.
With this boisterous and darkly funny manhwa, Yeong-shin Ma defies the norms of the traditional Korean family narrative, offering instead the refreshingly honest and unfiltered story of a group of middle-aged moms who yearn for something more than what the mediocre men in their lives can provide. Despite their less-than-desirable jobs, salaries, husbands, and boyfriends, these women brazenly bulldoze their way through life with the sexual vulnerability and lust typically attributed to twenty-somethings.
