There have been comicbook adaptations of Hindi films and film personalities before - one-shots on Lagaan, Hum Tum, Bhagat Singh, an 80's series called Supremo with the filmstar Amitabh Bachhan as a superhero named - duh - Supremo. But in all these cases, the artwork and stories suck tremendously. Pavitr Prabhakar, the Indian Spiderman was a humongous joke - kids don't go to school in India wearing dhotis. Virgin comics, advertised as Indian mythology repackaged, weren't even released in India until this month.
