Yoddha (The Warrior)

Yoddha (The Warrior) is a Marathi poem written by my friend Ravi. When I heard the poem first, it formed vivid images in my mind. I realised that this poem had an awesome visual potential.

You can read the poem below in all its graphic glory. It’s been translated into English in the comic below.

‘The Contract’ is published

My first independent graphic novel, The Contract has been uploaded on the website www.pothi.com. Pothi.com provides ‘print-on-demand’ service, i.e. the book is printed after it’s ordered, rather than the other way round as in traditional publishing.

This graphic novel is intended for mature audience only.

Below is the cover page of ‘The Contract’ followed by a few preview pages (Warning: NSFW material)

Synopsis:

Steve is a very ordinary guy, with very ordinary dreams (like reaching his school on time and making out with a hot girl in his class). But one bad day in his life turns his world upside down.

Now Steve is out on a suicidal mission of revenge, when he encounters a mysterious being. The mysterious being offers Steve something he had never dreamed before, and which would make his revenge so much sweeter.

Steve will go to any lengths to have his revenge. Little does he realize that every dream has a price!

This book is intended for mature audiences only.

The preview below contains pages 1-5 and 12-14.

The Replacement finds a home

ComixIndia.com, a comics enthusiasts site had invited entries for a comics anthology (collection of stories from various authors/artists). I sent my story ‘The Replacement‘ for inclusion in the anthology.

Now the comics anthology (including The Replacement) is complete and ready to be published on Pothi.com, a print-on-demand site. This means the physical book will be printed and delivered to the person who ordered it once an order is placed. No physical copy will exist until ordered.

This anthology will be published some time in the month of Feb 2010.

More information about the comics anthology can be found here.
