Graphic Narratives and the Mythological Imagination in India

by Roma Chatterji

๐Ÿ“– The Scoop

This book explores graphic narratives and comics in India and demonstrates how these forms serve as sites on which myths are enacted and recast. It uses the case studies of a comics version of the Mahabharata War, a folk artistโ€™s rendition of a comic book story, and a commercial project to re-imagine two of Indiaโ€™s most famous epics โ€“ the Ramayana and the Mahabharata โ€“ as science fiction and superhero tales.

It discusses comic books and self-published graphic novels; bardic performance aided with painted scrolls and commercial superhero comics; myths, folklore, and science fiction; and different pictorial styles and genres of graphic narration and storytelling. It also examines the actual process of the creation of comics besides discussions with artists on the tools and location of the comics medium as well as the method and impact of translation and crossover genres in such narratives.

With its clear, lucid style and rich illustrations, the book will be useful to scholars and researchers of sociology, anthropology, visual culture and media, and South Asian studies, as well as those working on art history, religion, popular culture, graphic novels, art and design, folk culture, literature, and performing arts.

Genre: Literary Criticism / Comics & Graphic Novels (fancy, right?)
