Antareep Comics plans to print 'Mrityubhoomi: The Dead Lands Saga Book 1,' a graphic novel created by Shamik Dasgupta. This new series promises a unique spin on the zombie apocalypse genre, set in India.
"Mrityubhoomi" is a story about human resilience in the face of impending annihilation in a post-apocalyptic planet. Unlike most zombie stories set in the United States, Korea, Japan, or Europe, this series delves into the issues and crises that may occur in India, a country noted for its enormous population and tight weapons control laws.
The plot follows Assistant Commissioner of Police (Kolkata) Samrat Mukherjee and his family, which includes his wife Aparna, teenage daughter Ahana, and newborn baby, as they traverse a world devastated by a zombie outbreak. The narrative seeks to depict challenges and threats specific to Indian society.
Antareep Comics has decided to present 'Mrityubhoomi' in black and white grayscale, with artwork by Sumanta Guha. The book will be published initially in Bengali, with English and Hindi versions planned for later distribution. Soumen Chatterjee, Dasgupta's previous colleague, is in charge of the translation. #comics #art #cover #indiancomics
