com·ic/ˈkämik/
A book, which every child reads without being
told.
A word of which the meaning they do not
actually know.
I take it as
default that all of you have grown up reading comics in your childhood. I
recall my brother eating up bundles of Nagraj,
Doga, Chacha Chaudhary, Billoo, Super commando
Dhruv, Vikram aur Betal and many more while lazing around during
summer vacations. I could just understand Pinky
then! :/
The Transition- from comic strips to
everywhere
Ever wondered how beautiful it is to realise
the existence of comic characters in this kinetic world. Graphics and
technology has taken this childhood memoir to a completely new level. The Spiderman
can jump up and down the buildings to save lives in the movies and you can play
as Mario to rescue Princess Peach in the X box. Depiction of the Chitra-Katha in the super-coolest way!
Whatever age we are in, the comic genre would
always interest us.
Comic Con India held an
exhibition in Bangalore this weekend in lieu of promotion and preservation of
comics and graphic arts. I got a chance to meet all my childhood comic crushes.
Besides, a pool of some geniuses with their unique ways to depicting stories
through graphics.
Love for mooches, Indian humor, characters from Ramayana and Mahabharata, the pirates of the
Caribbean and all hallucinating colors depicted through different mediums of
graphics – a motley of all the fantasy,
adventure, power and fun one could ever think of. No wonder, graphics
is the new generation. Conor
McCreery once quoted, ‘Comics are not a genre. They are a medium that encompasses every genre.’
