Stills from Nikhil Chaudhary's new comics film, titled 'I, Pedestrian', which brings to the fore the need for safer infrastructure for pedestrians in urban spaces

Evoking the works of Joe Sacco, famous for his non-fiction graphic novels, Nikhil Chaudhary says, "If there can be comics journalism, then why not comics urbanism?" Take Gotham or Metropolis. The city has been the backdrop for many a grimy and gritty comic, but Chaudhary says, "How about if you bring city planning issues into popular thought through comics?"
