Description

This originally started out as a project for my comic/sequential art class at school, but I've decided to post it here as I'm ridiculously proud of the results. I've gone as far as to produce it as a physical printed 9 page comic!

If anyone is interested in ordering the book itself, it costs only $10.99!

As many of you may notice in the pages ahead, this is heavily similar to DragonBall by Akira Toriyama. That is for several reasons...

1. The project I started creating this for had guidelines that required us to pick a comic book artist and imitate their style, not only in drawing but other areas (storytelling, technique, etc). I chose Akira Toriyama as my artist.

2. The story is based on Journey to the West. Which is a old chinese folktale that tells of a monk that travels the world searching for sūtras, or sacred texts, with a number of powerful assistants who sought to atone for their sins by traveling with him. Among those assistants was Sun WuKong, or The Monkey King, who in the novel itself was proved to be a insanely strong character that defied the heavens and challenged Buddha himself. Son Goku from DragonBall is inspired by this character.

3. I love DragonBall and Akira Toriyama's works! Not only is DragonBall a reference that I used, I also looked toward Dr.Slump, and SandLand as inspiring works.

The following work (story and art) is copyrighted by myself (Jeshar Escoffery).
