AAN Publishers is proud to present the box set of war comics, which includes 24 illustrated stories of the brave hearts of the Indian Armed Forces who have been awarded the Ashok Chakra for their outstanding Courage, Valour, and Daring in military operations.
The Ashok Chakra is India's highest peacetime military decoration awarded for valour,courageous action or self-sacrifice away from the battlefield. It is the peacetime equivalent ofthe Param Vir Chakra (PVC), and is awarded for the "most conspicuous bravery or some daringor pre-eminent valour or self-sacrifice" other than in the face of the enemy. The decoration maybe awarded either to military or civilians.
The Stories will emphasize the contemporary military history of our country. The warrior seriesintends to drag the reader into reality by bursting the ignorance bubble. With a bold, in-your-face approach, informing the reader that the nation's freedom, rights, and stability are paid forin blood by someone somewhere wearing a uniform.
These picture-graphic war stories depict what all of our warriors have to endure and go through in order to provide victory, freedom, honour, and dignity to the country in their fight against the enemy, both foreign and domestic, in the most hostile conditions ranging from deserts to snow mountains and all the way into the jungles.
The Common Man has been shown only a portion of a picture, depicting a safe, peaceful, and a stable democracy. The entire picture revealed, is going to have a profound effect on the readers.
These war stories are much more than comic books and should not be dismissed as such. They are a combination of Martyrs' Tribute, Military History, War, Geopolitics, and Art merged into real-life illustrated stories that will make any reader proud of their armed forces and inculcate a strong message of "country first and always," which will be a paradigm shift.
The objective of coming out with these illustrated stories is to bring our war heroes into the public consciousness.
