Introduction:
The series of comic books are adapted from the beloved classic Journey to the West in which five hundred years after the Monkey King was imprisoned beneath the Wuxing Mountains as a punishment by the Tathagata Buddha, the Bodhisattva visits him and convinces him to embark on a journey of repentance by becoming a Buddhist disciple, who will accompany the monk on a pilgrimage to India. Each book tells one of the stunning stories from the original where the characters are illustrated in a cute comic style and the scenes are designed according to a movie storyboard. The illustrator combined traditional Chinese painting techniques with watercolor to create stunning backdrops for each scene, and the writers use plain language to tell the story in a child-friendly way.
