Champions going after big bad villains,high-school teenagers brooding over world problems or clumsy characters solving mysteries all of their lives are defined by the super powers they possess. And for 27-year-old Sreejita Biswas,these heroes and their speech balloon conversations captivated her as much as real people. A writer and artist,Biswas spent most of her childhood eagerly poring over Phantom and Mandrake comics.
It was only a year ago that she got the idea of connecting with other comic book lovers. I wanted to start a site or magazine to connect people who love comics. But I couldnt flesh it out, she says,over video chat from Bangalore. Working as a graphic novel columnist for a magazine Biswas realised that knowing only about Marvel and DC comics wasnt enough.
The magazine has contributors from Pune,Chennai,Mumbai,Kolkata,Hyderabad,Bangalore and the UK. Describing her team,Biswas says,she is the brain,Hyderabad-based Ved Antani is the brawn and Bangalore-based Karn Kaul who is also the designer of the website is the spine. So whats next on the agenda? We are hoping to get more visibility and connect with more comic enthusiasts. Social networks are the best option, says Biswas.
