About the series
In the early 2010s, JR Comics launched Monkey King, a 20-issue series that adapts the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West for a new generation. The series brings the legendary trickster Sun Wukong to vivid life, blending martial arts action, mythological adventure, and a rebellious hero's journey. While the title character is the focus, the creative team—including writer Khoo Fuk Lung and artist Khoo Fuk Lung—emphasized fast-paced storytelling and dynamic artwork. Monkey King stands as a notable entry in Western comics' engagement with Eastern folklore, offering a fresh take on a timeless story.
