There’s nothing quite as charmingly bizarre as Juni Ba’s highly praised Monkey Meat anthology, and we’ve got a special sneak peek at the upcoming installment for you! Titled “Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch,” it will be available in stores starting March 5th. This captivating collection takes readers to the well-known holiday destination of Monkey Meat Island, a place where things aren’t always as they appear, even though it’s managed by a somewhat dubious corporation. Despite the peculiarities, there’s still plenty of fun and sun to be had! You can find the complete sneak peek in the images provided below.

Juni Ba eagerly anticipated returning to this realm, as it turned out, the Monkey Meat Company also had a stake in having their tales shared with the global audience.

As a devotee of the silver screen, I’ve found myself under the control of 95% of my mental real estate by the Monkey Meat company. This realization sparked an irresistible urge within me to revisit those off-kilter comic books. Moreover, with the watchful eyes of my shareholders, who have invested in a venture that’s as sinister as it is lucrative, I’ve been compelled to deliver something extraordinary. Something that promises to be entertainingly engaging, tantalizingly tasty, and ever-so-slightly addictive – all without the use of artificial flavorings!

Ba expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “Monkey Meat is my creative playground! Here I can let go of corporate constraints, explore fresh ideas, and create comics that are whimsical, innovative, and catchy. I hope you find them as delightful to read as they are to sketch. This comic seems to be the one people ask for the most, and I’m thrilled to keep producing it. In this latest series, I’ve aimed for a grittier, underground vibe – like an old, worn comic you might discover tucked away in a corner of a Senegalese meat market.

As a cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that “Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch” will hit comic book stores on Wednesday, March 5th! If you haven’t already, don’t miss out on “Monkey Meat: The First Batch,” available in stores right now. Enjoy the ride!
