ரஃபிக்,

உங்களிடமிருந்து மீண்டும் ஒர் நடுநிலையான விமர்சனப்பதிவு. மோக்சாவின் சித்திரங்கள் சிறப்பாக உள்ளன. தமிழ் மொழியிலும் காமிக்ஸ் துறை வளர்ச்சி பெற வேண்டும் எனும் எண்ணம் உங்கள் பதிவால் எழுகிறது. கரன் அவர்களிற்கு என் பாராட்டுக்கள்.

@ Aabid: Dear Abidji, I am so glad to have received the presence of comics visionary like you in my humble blog.

Your comic characters, would always live in the memory, as it had all ingredients which were needed for the time in which they were published. I am hoping that someday they would make it appearance again, in either comics format, or probably in Daily strips. That would be a good change over from the current foreign strips occupying all the English and Vernacular Dailies/Sundays. But, I know it would be difficult as the veterans who breathed life with their art into your strips are now not with us. But still, there should be some who can bring in their style to the art, atleast I believe it so. Hopefully, you know your creations better than me :)

I would be eager to read the Daud, and good to know that it's with Usman only. Looking forward for the online version of the same :).

Thanks much for your visit and comment.

@ Karan Vir: Thanks for clarifying the air on the GN and Monthly issues. Hope to see your new ventures hitting the stands sooner.

Hi Rafiq, i m glad 2 know that u still remember my comic characters like Bahadur, Azad, Shuja etc. While surfing I also realised that you are eager to read the complete story of Daud, that is safe with me. Usman, a friend had scanned the whole story. I'll request him 2 upload it for you. I m on facebook. Keep in touch. Aabid Surti

Well Siv , Rafiq is correct from his perspective....

2010-01-07T16:08:07.434+05:30

Well Siv ,

Rafiq is correct from his perspective. cant promise Digests but we will be taking out GN volumes interms of Lok and Dashaavatar but Moksha we will keep in bimonthly issues based and do our best to come up to the international standards what Rafiq mentioned above especially u will see more consistency after the Moksha # 03 which will be out this month!While Lok and Dashaavatar we will keep 6 monthly since they are 60 pages GN but we will over the time improve thr too! :)

@ Cap Tiger: I believe you would have known by now that Book Fair does have our Lion / Muthu Comics on sale through an initative by our fellow comic fans. To know more on the same, check out this post on Chennai Book Fair 2010

Best of Luck in your search for a job in our favorite Comics industry. With new publishers in the fray, it may not be far b4 you achieve the same.

@ Suresh: Good that I was able to help you identify this comic, my friend. They are freely available on all leading book stores, including our favorite hunting ground, Landmark.

Vimanika is pretty careful in not diluting the mythological legends, while devising their plots. For instance, Hanuman or Parashuram aren't shown in any compromising situations, neither the Karna, who is shown only as a reincarnation figure in the modern world. In short, they stay close to the source, and invent within a rigid boundaries. Hopefully, they would maintain it, and the comic lovers would welcome the change.

I too wish that our great classics like Ponniyin Selvan, are given their due credit in the comics format, with international quality. It looks it might materialize with some publishers showing interest to try out waters in the Comics field. Let's hope 4 the best, until then we would have to rely on our English counterparts achievements :)

2010-01-07T14:03:32.760+05:30

@ Siv: தமிழ்நாட்டில் காமிக்ஸ் முயற்சிகள் மேற்கொள்ளும் பதிப்பகங்கள், அவற்றை ஒரு பகுதி நேர வெளியீடாக நினைப்பதே, நமது தரம் முன்னேறாமல் இருப்பதற்கு காரணம்.

உதாரணத்திற்கு விமானிக்காவை எடுத்து கொள்ளுங்கள்... அவர்களின் நிறுவனம் ஆரம்பிக்கபட்டதே காமிக்ஸ் என்ற தொழிற்காக தான். அதன் வெளிப்பாடகவே, அவர்கள் வெளியீடுகளில் தரத்திற்கான அற்பணிப்பு காண கிடைக்கிறது.

தமிழ் காமிக்ஸும் சர்வதேச தரத்தை எட்டும் என்று நாம் நம்புவோமாக.

கரணிற்காக உங்கள் கருத்தை மொழிபெயர்த்து விடுகிறேன்.

Rafiq, It's good to know that Comics in India, are being developed with an International standard. I can't hide my jealosy, seeing the North Indians advancing so much in the fields of Comics, and Movies. However, keeping the larger India in focus, I can only be proud of the same.

One of the difficulties, I have over reading the English Comics, is to wait for the parts to arrive. Does providing a Digest Version is in the plans of Vimanika ?

My take on the digest question:

Generally, it is common practice in Comics industries elsewhere, to consolidate their monthly issues, into one or two volumes for later period. But considering that Indian comics market is still not up to an international standard either from the publishers, or from the comics readership, seeing that into fruition may not be a practical option.

I will leave the question to be answered by Karan himself.

@ Mr. Walker: You are most welcome, dude.

@ Vishal: As long as I can track your comments with your name, there are no problems dude.

Vimanika has a yearly subscription, based on which you can get their comics delivered at your doorstep. I hope you would have got the necessary details, from their website. If not, don't hesitate to email Karan @ karanvir@vimanika.com

@ Karan Vir: Welcome aboard, my friend. I agree that your bigger better versions of LOK and Dashavatar are going to be a landmark issue in Indian Comics. I will reserve from talking more about the series, until they reach my hands. :)

Congrats on the Moksha Award, and Best of Luck for your future success.

@ க.காதலன்: மோக்சாவின் சித்திரங்கள் சமீபத்தில் நான் படித்த இந்திய காமிக்ஸ் முயற்சிகளில் சிறந்த ஒன்றாகவே படுகிறது. தமிழ் காமிக்ஸும், இந்தளவு முன்னேறும் நாட்களை ஆவலுடன் எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன். கரன்னுக்கு உங்கள் பாராட்டுகள் சேர்ப்பிக்கபட்டுவிட்டன. கருத்துக்கும், வருகைக்கும் நன்றி நண்பரே.

Rafiq, another unbiased review from you. The artwork of Moksha is exemplary. I only hope that the same kind of developments also happen in the Tamil Comics field, after reading your post. Congrats, to Mr. Karan.

Rafiq,
As Great Post again. I have never heard about these comics until this post. It is really good to see our Art works are improving. the story is like reviving our Ramayan and Mahabarath. Not sure how the OLD generation will take it. As we can see people going to court for everything.

I would be happy to see ponniyin selvan and some of the super hit tamil novels in Comics format. Hope that day comes too.

2010-01-04T20:57:49.247+05:30

ரஃபிக், சர்வதேச தரத்தில் இந்தியாவில் காமிக்ஸ்கள் உருவாக்கப்படுவது மகிழ்ச்சியை தருகிறது. சினிமாவிலும் காமிக்ஸ்க்ளிலும் வட இந்தியர்கள் காட்டிடும் முன்னேற்றம் நம்மை பொறாமை கொள்ள வைக்கிறது. எனினும் மொத்த இந்தியாவை கணக்கில் கொண்டு பெருமை கொள்ள வேண்டியது தான்.

ஆங்கில காமிக்ஸ்களை படிப்பதில் எனக்குள்ள சிரமம் பகுதி பகுதியாக படிப்பது. Vimanika Comics ல் ஏதேனும் Digist வெளியிடும் திட்டம் உள்ளதா?
