![]() ![]() The follow-up to Djeliya is the Image Comics anthology series, Monkey Meat, which just delivered its third issue. The book was heavily rooted in West Africa folklore, and rendered with a very hip, fearless style of illustration that took from recognizable inspirations - manga, Big 2 comics, Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim animation - and melded it all into something singular, something new. Djeliya was a hell of an opening statement, introducing Ba to direct market comics readers in a big and interesting way. Ba made a huge splash last year with his debut graphic novel, the TKO Studio published Djeliya (which I wrote about for NPR Books last summer). Ba, if you somehow don’t know yet, is one of the most interesting new cartoonists to start working on monthly comics in some time.
