About the series
A gleefully weird satire of corporate culture and capitalism, Monkey Meat is a five-issue Image Comics series from 2022 that imagines a future where a single, magical monkey provides an endless supply of meat, turning its corporate owners into the world's most powerful monopoly. Each issue is a self-contained story set in this bizarre universe, exploring the absurd and often dark consequences of unchecked greed and consumerism. The series is the brainchild of writer and artist Juni Ba, whose vibrant, chaotic artwork perfectly matches the story's manic energy. It matters as a sharp, funny, and visually inventive critique of modern life, proving that a small-press comic can deliver a big, memorable idea.
