There are things that you can get away with in pictures, that you’d probably never be able to get away in words. Partly because the viewers interpret the pictures as they see fit. More and more graphic novels are becoming comments on our times. Not just telling stories, but also criticizing the world we live in, all with the flourish of a brush stroke. Appupen (creator of Rashtraman), and comic book archivist Aarthi Parthasarathy join the legendary Dave McKean (American Gods, Sandman), in a conversation with journalist Sanjay Sipahimalani.
