About The Book

A colorful retelling of the legendary Monkey King fable of ancient Chinese lore. The powerful Monkey King Sun Wu Kong sets out to accompany the monk Xuanzang on his journey to the west, where they will encounter all manner of threats and tests of character. Imprisoned by the Buddha himself, the rapscallion vows to prove his worth by escaping and retrieving the sacred sutras on a mighty quest.

Artist Chaiko brings his unique visual style and humor to this fantasy adventure about a monkey who acquires supernatural abilities and intelligence and chooses to use them for mischief and glory before finding himself at the ire of the Heavens.
