"Constantine" & "Hellboy".<BR/><BR/><BR/>These comics follow a Hindu themed philosophy & framework (w/a careful disclaimer to ward off the fundie Muslim/Hindu attacks suffered by Harry Potter & Salmon Rushdie)<BR/><BR/>The comis are:<BR/><BR/>Ramayan - "a futuristic re-imagining of the Indian Myth of the same name" (Parabola, Vol. 32, No. 2, Summer 2007, pg. 92)<BR/><BR/>The Sadu - "the story of a Raj-era British soldier who discovers he's the reincarnation of a Hindu mystic (ditto above)<BR/><BR/>Devi-"the adventures of a modern young woman/warrior goddess set in an alternate Sitapur" (ditto above)<BR/><BR/>Might be worth checking out...ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814418184624819506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-55928599214853709652007-07-02T06:54:00.000-07:002007-07-02T06:54:00.000-07:00"Black Coat" sounds pretty snazzy."Black Coat" sounds pretty snazzy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723952510039418615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-84858913710842981662007-07-01T07:42:00.000-07:002007-07-01T07:42:00.000-07:00Actually, Nathan Hale is a supporting character in...Actually, Nathan Hale is a supporting character in the comic, along with Benjamin Tallmadge. <BR/><BR/>The feel of the comic is very 1930s-40s serial style. It’s incorporates horror-fantasy elements in the vain of Mary Shelly and Jules Verne.
