Great comic stories about the antics of Monkey, Bunny and friends.

Story

When a maniacal monkey is sent in to space, his shuttle crashes in a nearby wood. Believing he has found a brave new world, Monkey plans to take over as ruler. It’s up to Bunny and his woodland friends to put a stop to Monkey’s power-hungry schemes and bring peace and quiet back to their forest.

Why we chose it

Bunny Versus Monkey is one of The Phoenix Comic’s most popular stories. The Phoenix Comic is a much loved and very successful weekly comic aimed at 7-14 year olds

Where it came from

Jamie Smart (b.1978) is a British comic book artist and writer. Smart wanted to write a comic with an ensemble cast, not just one main character. He chose the wood as is setting, and the action-packed antics of Bunny, Monkey and their woodland friends blossomed from there.

Where it went next

Bunny vs Monkey has featured in The Phoenix Comic pretty much every week since it was launched in 2012. There are now six Bunny vs Monkey books, and new strips being published every week.

Associated stories

Every week Jamie Smart draws for The Beano, Doctor Who Adventures magazine, and Mega magazine. He has created lots of other comics, including Fish-Head Steve for the DFC. He has also produced an illustrated novel called Flember (2019).
