A 39-volume English-language graphic novel series of Journey to the West was promoted at a Beijing book fair to introduce the Chinese classic to global readers through visual storytelling. The adaptation keeps the original Chinese character names to preserve cultural authenticity and help readers better understand each role.
The series is produced in two versions: one for international readers and one for Chinese students learning E
nglish, mainly targeting middle and high school audiences. Publishers say the project responds to rising global interest in Chinese classics and fills a gap in visually illustrated English editions.
Building on the success of a previous French version, the new series blends folklore, religious figures, festivals, and customs into an accessible format. The publishers believe the graphic novel will strengthen the global influence of Chinese culture while making Journey to the West easier and more engaging for international audiences.
