The Demon King

A war. A wedding. A centuries old secret that will change everything. In a thrilling re-imagination of the classic epic, follow Sita as she begins to unravel a thread of long lost history amidst a feud between two nations.

Sita finds that the key to her puzzle lies deep within Lanka, yet her plans to travel there are crushed by the appearance of a young boy in court. A witness they call him, and he speaks of blood, doom and a demon king.

This comic is a brain child conceived during the First Lockdown, through which both Duval and Ashwitha reinvented a well known story for reasons unknown, even to them. Now, several pages in the making, the comic has grown in a multi-chaptered project drawing inspiration from works like Saga and (plenty more!). With Duval’s penchant for history and science facts, and Ashwitha’s commitment to tying these things into a functional story, they aim to bring science fantasy into our myths in a way no one’s seen before. (Maybe not even them, this is a work in progress.)
