There is a certain fluidity in the drawings of Abhishek Singh's new graphic book, Namaha: Stories from The Land of Gods and Goddesses (Wonder House), that immediately pull you into the milieu he has created. We are in the world of the divine, where sages, kings and elements of nature are in conversation with the gods, whose wisdom shines through every story.

Singh, whose critically acclaimed Krishna: A Journey Within (Image Comics) was the first graphic novel by an Indian origin writer/artist to be published in the American comic book history, has pushed the envelope with this book. That he is a keen student of literature, only amplifies his art—a combination of ink pen drawings and water colours. This particular collection brings together material inspired by the ancient wisdom literature of India. As Singh writes in the book, they are stories that he'd like to believe have travelled to us "from a time, where illuminated minds learnt from the forests and the stars".
