Named Untitled, Issue #1 offers you no rules or the narrative of a traditional comic book, but throws the reader's mind into an illustration-rich world woven with exciting possibilities.

The debut comic was launched at the annual Indian Comics Convention that ended on Sunday. Anand reanimates the comic scene by creating a visual masterpiece that promises to blur the line between art and comic books. Comics must have always been a source of inspiration for this young artist, something that is evident in his fascination with the black and white magic of Kirby dots.

He tells us he is writing the third book The Oath of the Vayuputras at the moment. "All I can say is evil will be taken out of the equation in this one," he reveals, adding, "Shiva is an exciting figure — a dancer, the originator of yoga, and he respects women.

The fact that he consumes bhang makes him loveable even. It's rare to find to a God who you can be in awe of and adore at the same time." And now filmmaker Karan Johar has bought the rights to adapt Meluha.
