Indian Comics Are Edutainment
With every comic this side of Bazooka Joe receiving the movie treatment this summer, we’re almost (almost) coming down with a case of comic book fatigue here at the Complex offices. (creating our Second Annual Comic Special was no easy feat, folks).
Always on the lookout for new shit in the ink and paper world, we were stoked to come across fantasy author Jeff VanderMeer’s collection of ’70s comics from India. The Hugo Award-winning author turns 40 next week and is revisiting his comic collection (which is something we can relate to'except we do it when we turn 24, 25, 26 and most days in between). It turns out there was (and still is) a whole genre of comics depicting Indian historical and religious figures. Peep more of Jeff’s collection after the jump.
