Book Review: Ghosts, Monsters and Demons of India by Rakesh Khanna & J. Furcifer Bharaiv

Having written and/or illustrating several myself it is fair to say that I have a soft spot for encyclopedias / guides to folkloric entities and beasts, especially the darker beings. Folklore is such a vast and diverse field and unless you are multilingual so much of it still remains hidden from many readers. Therefore it is a welcome treasure for me when English language tomes covering creatures…

Remember 'CID Moosa'? This docu series captures the magic of Malayalam comics

Remember ‘CID Moosa’? This docu series captures the magic of Malayalam comics

[ad_1]

Tony Davis and Sreeram KV are behind the documentary series ‘Kadha Vara Kadhakal’ on YouTube.

That day, Sreeram KV and Tony Davis were attending a quiz as part of an event by Chai Pe Quiz, an informal quiz club in Kochi. A question was asked about Kannadi Viswanathan and Tony was quick to answer it. Viswanathan is the creator of one of Tony’s favourite Malayalam comics, CID Moosa. After…

Appupen’s kokaachi & comics library

Day 9 of 30 days of Kokaachi

This primeval Kokaachi is an inhabitant of Halahala, the world that our good friend Appupen has been creating (and still is) over the past 5+ years. While almost everyone else in the Indian comics scene was busy rehashing and retelling existing mythologies, Appupen created his own bold, original & visionary universe of stories, one that we're utterly in awe of.

We also spent an afternoon with Appupen at his home, and were pleasantly surprised to it see his comics library (the pic below is but a small part of it) and find that lot of our fave books were part of his collection too. We also got to see a lot of his new, ongoing work - comics, posters, Halahala stories and some absolutely wild & pulpy artworks we plan to steal when it comes out later this year! :)

So I wanted to distract myself by telling you all a story. (For that’s what stories are for, no?) This one is the story of an incredible artist and his various kindnesses.
