Doordarshan's serial 'Shaktimaan' turned into a comic

Mukesh Khanna as Shaktimaan

In the beginning was the comic. Batman, Superman, Tarzan. Then came the films. But the Indian superhero Shaktimaan does it the other way round: from the small screen to the world of print.

Doordarshan's popular serial has been turned into a comic in association with the publishers, Diamond Comics. It will be brought out in Hindi, English and Bengali.

The first TV spin-off of its kind will ensure that "Shaktimaan fans can now cherish him for posterity," says the elated creator, Mukesh Khanna. Did you miss the episode this week? No problem. It's soon coming to the comic near you.
