Monkey King TPB (2005) # 1 1st Print (9.2-NM)
Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Katsuya Terada.
Based on the 16th-century, Chinese fantasy adventure classic, Journey To The West (also the inspiration for Dragon Ball!) Katsuya Terada's take on the legend of the Monkey King is a savage, lusty saga that The Portland Tribune calls "a Buddhist version of Conan the Barbarian.
" He raised holy hell as the baddest ape in Ancient China ... until the Lord Buddha himself dropped a mountain on him! Now the Monkey King will get his parole with one condition-he must escort a Buddhist nun through the demon-haunted wastes of the Silk Road on an impossible quest: reach India and bring back a collection of sacred scrolls! ?
From the acclaimed character designer of the anime Blood: The Last Vampire-the first-ever manga in English by Katsuya Terada-painted in full-color by the artist! ?
Terada's The Monkey King first appeared in Ultra Jump magazine-the grown-up version of Shonen Jump not available in the U.S.!
