Anthology Comics & Short Stories is an attempt to subvert much of the woes of modern culture by bringing old comic book characters back to life. While there are mature themes like the use of firearms, there will be no LGBTQIA+ agenda. Stories will be chosen that do not glorify antithetical behavior to conservative values, but they will still be enjoyable to a wide range of readers.

This is a delightful adventure story from award-winning children's writer Saroj Mukherjee. A disappeared river concealing a hidden treasure, the myth of a dead king and a trailblazing adventure led by two young boys come together in a compelling finale in this book. Facets of old and modern India are seamlessly stitched together as the events unfold and Bharat and Hanumant uncover the mysteries of the mountain and river. The author's fascination with the environment and the wilderness, especially the mysterious rock-cut caves and underground rivers around Chitrakoot in Madhya Pradesh, pervade the fast-paced story. Tinged with humour and imagination, this translation by Tilottama Tharoor of the Hindi original wraps itself around the lives of a group of people, all representative of the diversity which is India.

Digital storytelling can be employed as a tool that incorporates human creativity with technology. It synthesizes multimedia based elements to create engaging stories and compelling narratives. To this end, this research presents an approach that can be used as an assistant tool for comics artists. It focuses on generating comics-based narratives through a system that integrates three main components in the creation process, which are: agent-based system which generates raw narrative material based on the behavior of the system's agents, an interactive evolution process where the author participate in the creation process, and comics generating engine that creates final comics as outputs. The general scope of the research is to construct a generative system that has the ability to create comics and fictional characters.The research utilizes the method of Research through Design (RtD) which favors evolution and iteration of the construction of the artifact based on trial and error to better solve complex design problems. Relevant aspects of computer science, visual arts, comics and storytelling have been combined together to form a unified research project that can answer the research questions: how can digital technology be employed in generating comics; how can it contribute to the creation of novel art forms; and how can it help artists in their creative practice.Through a review of generative comics researches, four categories are identified: Unified Comics Generators which investigate methods for generating both the story structure and its visual comics-based representation, Comics Elements Generators which explore various techniques for generating or employing particular comics elements such as panels, splashes, speech bubbles, and others, Visual Representation Generators which rely on importing the content from other narrative sources such as video games, video streaming, or chatting conversations through social media, and Generative Comics Installations which produce and present comic stories in a form of exhibited installations by capturing and manipulating live pictures of the audience.Research findings are discussed in terms of story characterization, the generated stories, and the comics visual representation. The constructed system showed high flexibility, scalability, competency, and capability that entitle it to be employed in various applications for different purposes.

ACTION-PACKED GRAPHIC NOVEL PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE BOXERS AND SAINTS SERIES Five hundred years ago, in an age marked by war, plague, inequality and religious coercion, there were people across Europe who dared to imagine a society of sharing, peace, and freedom of conscience. These radicals were ready to die for their vision. They were executed by thousands – by water, by fire, and by sword – in both Catholic and Protestant states.  Their story comes to life in this graphic novel, the first in a series that dramatically recreates a little-known chapter in the history of the Reformation.  By Water is the historically accurate account of young people standing up for their convictions against the corrupt political and religious leaders of their day.
