The comic "Wukong" combines traditional artistic elements with modern comic techniques, giving new vitality to the classic story on the basis of being faithful to the original book. In the artistic expression of "Wukong", the author not only retains the essence of the classic character of Monkey King, but also vividly presents the classic image of Monkey King in front of readers through the elegant lines of Dunhuang murals and the sharp rhythm of modern storyboards, so that readers can feel a new charm in the familiar mythology.
