The Sparrow Hawk - colored comic and short novel

Ricardo Tronconi

Sinossi

The only useful clue leading back to a non-conventional superhero's actions is a sparrow hawk's feather (or Early Warbird), left behind as a kind of signature. Nobody can guess what's beneath this ambiguous presence, who chastens men guilty of violence against women in mysterious ways (painfully, in any case).The comic artist Ju, after a chance meeting with Victor Patillas, founder of a publishing company, takes the job as an illustrator and that's when he embarks on a journey, plunging into the Sparrow Hawk's world, the main character in the comic series he's expected to illustrate. Thus the character of Ketty comes to life, she, a victim of abuse from her brother-in-law, permanently haunted by that traumatic experience and by a family fully convinced she is the cause of it all. Taking shape as a simple illustration at first, Ketty and her friends become more and more real, finally blending into reality itself.

DOORS THE - How a father's love...

Ashok Jahagirdar

THE DOORS is a mystical, heart-wrenching, and triumphant journey where the greatest magic is not in the extraordinary, but in the ordinary love that defies all limits—one door at a time. 
It is a spellbinding journey of love, envy, and redemption, where the greatest magic is not in changing the world, but in daring to believe that some bonds are stronger than fate itself. 
In a world where every life is bound by an unseen script—written in celestial ink and unchangeable by mortal hands—destiny is not a promise, but a prison. 
And, envy lurks in the shadows of greatness. 
BUT there is one force even destiny could not foresee - a father’s love.

Raakshasa the Demon

Pritesh Chakraborty

Gods and demons had always fought amongst themselves according to Hindu Mythology. This story presents that universal conflict between good and evil, problematizing the very concepts of good and evil. It challenges the dominant discourse of the gods (representing the upper caste, aristocratic, capitalist class of the society) that they were the up keepers of law and the rakshshas were the miscreants. This story oscillates between an epic past and contemporary times but is more dominantly set in modern sub urban landscape of the present decade. The age old battle plays out in the modern city/mofussil backdrop and involves angles of love, revenge and betrayal.
