Comics Series - Indian Mythology

Comic Book Cover

It was wonderful to meet so many of you yesterday!

Here is the website for Desi Knowledge that features the mythology series and selections (comics)  that were mentioned yesterday at U of C. They are listed under Amar Chitra Katha. 

It looks as though they have a fairly large collection of materials and that they are easy to order.  Too bad I hadn't found this before I started buying them individually.
