PAO: the Anthology of Comics: Volume 1  (English, Paperback, Pao Colletive)

Pao is an anthology of comics by several notable writers and graphic artists.

Summary of the Book

This book brings together a collection of 12 stories from several writers across India. In it, aliens pen science fiction stories, clouds sail through sleepscapes and a boy doesn’t understand that his mother is dead. Several art styles come together to spin stories as varied as the styles themselves. They zoom from quirky and dazzling to contemplative and deep, mesmerising readers with several emotions all at once. From the story in which a spinster aunt demands strawberry ice cream by holding her family hostage to that of the Helmetman as he rides through a city as it is attacked, readers will wonder and roar in laughter as their emotions are tested and set free.
