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.
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.
And here’s the colored version of A mini Tour de Comics. In the same extremely small thumbnails way.
Yesterday evening, I finally completed my short comic about making comics. I have named it ‘A mini Tour De Comics’.
I completed the whole 11 pages in 7 days, an achievement for my speed.
I have sent it to ComixIndia.com for publishing in their forthcoming booklet on the same topic. The booklet will contain entries from some more people on this subject, nearly 10 pages from each author.
Once they publish it on their website, I will keep one copy here for free download. Who knows, the current B&W comic may acquire some colors by then 
Since a post about making comics is incomplete without some pictures, and I am not supposed to publish it here before the publisher does it, here are very small thumbnails of the comic. They are large enough to entice an interest, and small enough to be unreadable 
An announcement for all budding and wannabe comics authors/artists.
Comixindia.com (a comics enthusiast site) and Pothi.com (A self publishing print-on-demand site) annonced at the end of Nov 2009 about a magazine, COMIX.INDIA VOLUME 1 – RANDOM SELECTION.
The magazine is introduced to publish an anthology of sorts of independent comics creators in India.
The following are guidelines for submission
1. A4 size, black and white, at least 20 pages, at most 40 pages each.
2. Scanned / created digitally at 300 DPI and above.
3. Any topic (that’s why it’s called Random Selection)
Due to the inherent nature of Print-on-demand, there’s no up-front monetory investment on the part of authors. The magazine copies will be printed physically only when somebody orders (and pays for) them.
The deadline for submissions is 31st Dec 09. So if you are interested to be in this project, you can check out the site comixindia.com.
I have already submitted my story ‘The Replacement’ for this issue.
The below picture is a sample cover for this anthology, and the actual cover page will greatly differ (actually, it will have no resemblance to this page whatsoever)
