Ground Zero
Conceived in 2011, this is a 100% creator own anthology with no set theme or genre. It collects stories that include Slice-of-life, Fantasy, Dark Humour, Science Fiction, Drama and even a rare attempt at an Indian Manga story.
Each tale is unique and each anthology boasts a variety of creative talent from across India!
The series contains a mix of one-off and episodic stories with hopes of bringing to the reader new and innovative characters and settings using the immense potential that Indian story-telling, history, culture and even mythology allows us to draw from and bring to new life.

Holy Hell: The Series
Do you dare to take a journey into the extreme? How about the absurd?
Welcome to the ComicCon India Award-Winning (we can’t believe it either!) world of “Holy Hell“, where the rules go out the window and sometimes so should the jokes!
Come join in the (un)adventures of our “heroes” Dara and Blue as they come face to face with the imagination-machinations of their creators!
“Holy Hell is one of those comics that make you realise how morbid life and times really are and how you can’t do much but laugh along. Akshay and Zafar’s writing and Abhijeets art makes Holy Hell worth reading more than once!”
– Sreejita Biswas (writer, Bangalore Mirror)
Retrograde Vol. 01: After The Storm
One day the sky fell — planes dropping, skylines burning, power grids dead — and that was it, no negotiating with an apocalypse.
Retrograde v1: After the Storm is about the people left holding a hill-station bunker together in the aftermath: rationing bullets, keeping watches, and worrying more about who’s still out there than about any answers. The kids get told the gunfire outside is just Diwali crackers. The adults know better, and some of them keep trying to go back out anyway.
It’s not really about the disaster — it’s about what people do to each other once the disaster’s done deciding, and how long you can hold a group of strangers-turned-family together when the world outside keeps testing the walls.
Written by Akshay Dhar, Art by Avik Kumar Maitra, Cover by Anurag Chandra.
