Descobri hoje este livro que já foi lançado em Dezembro de 2012. Ao invés de me alongar muito, deixo uma curta descrição do que pode ser encontrado na obra (podem continuar a ler, é só clicar no link no fim do texto), assim como várias imagens da arte fantástica de Abhishek Singh, um talentoso artista indiano que começa a dar os primeiros passos no campo do argumento, já que este título é inteiramente seu. A arte é fabulosa, contemplativa e bastante variada (o que valorizo muito num artista), consoante a época em que Krishna é retratado.
Enjoy!
"This book tells the story about the birth, life, and death of Lord Krishna, a key figure and god from Hindu mythology.
Krishna’s
story has been told in in several comics, published by several houses,
but, it has never been told in such a way, as far as I know.
The
main narrative device used in the book is that of an older Krishna
reminiscing about key moments of and related to his life while sitting
at a beautiful river bank, with parallels of his experiences and
narrations being reflected in the flora and fauna around him.
Krishna
himself looks visibly older and mature, as indicated by his abundant
facial hair. While this may not be accurate, I don’t think I have ever
seen Krishna depicted with a beard. While at first it was slightly
jarring, I quickly appreciated it as it informed me that the story was
being told in a non-linear format.
