Lee Wonbok (1946-) is a South Korean comic book creator who first began creating comics in his first year of high school in 1962, at the suggestion of the weekly newspaper Kids Hankook Ilbo. Influenced by American comics at first, Lee’s art was later influenced by the works of Chiba Tetsuya. Lee utilizes strong linework that is uncommon in Korea and considered extremely approachable and consistent.

이원복(1946~)은 한국의 만화가다. 1962년 고등학교 1학년 때부터 《소년한국일보》 주간의 권유로 어린이신문 만화를 그렸다. 초창기, 미국 만화의 영향을 받다가 1970년대 초~중반에는 치바 테츠야의 영향을 받아 그림을 그렸다. 한국 만화계에서 보기 드문 명료한 선으로 매우 안정적이며 친근한 작화를 사용한다는 평가를 받았다.
