Remembering Prakash Dev Verma: A True Torchbearer of Comics Passion

Prakash Dev Verma was more than just a comics enthusiast—he was a living embodiment of passion, creativity, and resilience. His infectious smile, boundless love for the world of comics, and indomitable spirit left a mark on everyone who crossed his path.

Even during the most challenging moments, the hope and courage reflected in his eyes revealed the heart of a true warrior. In his passing, the comics community has lost not only a devoted fan but also a gifted artist and a genuinely kind soul.


May the Almighty grant him eternal peace and give strength to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his presence. Om Shanti. 🙏

Unveiling Devotion Through Art: Mrinal Rai’s Hanuman Chalisa for All Ages

 

On this auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, Mrinal Rai has shared something truly special with the world, his latest offering: an illustrated book on the Hanuman Chalisa, titled "Sachitra Hanuman Chalisa."

While millions recite the Hanuman Chalisa daily, few take the time to dive deep into its meaning, especially in a way that connects with young minds and visual learners. Mrinal bridges this gap beautifully, combining his love for devotion, art, and education. Each verse is explained in simple language and accompanied by hand-drawn sketches of Lord Hanuman by Mrinal himself.

This is more than a devotional book, it's a creative guide, a teaching tool for kids, and a visual treat for Hanuman Bhakts.

FlyDreams Publications is set to release the next comic in its "Legends from Ramayana" series, titled "Pakshiraj Jatayu."

The "Nal-Neel" story was crafted to appeal to readers of all ages, from children to the elderly, and has been well-received for its engaging narrative.

Continuing in the same vein, "Pakshiraj Jatayu" explores the life of Jatayu, from his birth to his battle with Ravana, emphasizing his significant contributions to Lord Rama's army and his life. This comic delves into the lesser-known aspects of Jatayu's story, bringing together references from various versions of the Ramayana to present a comprehensive portrayal.

The "Legends from Ramayana" series aims to bring these timeless stories to readers, highlighting the unwavering heroes in Rama's army.
