In this issue

Mixtape Vol. 1 features five b&w short stories by creators from across India.

In Vivek Thomas’ and Rupesh Aravindakshan’s PURSUIT, a man gives chase to the pickpocket who lifts his wallet. Through twisting alleys, dodging packs of angry dogs, both hunter and hunted run towards a dead end.

A woman is like the sea: she is of many moods; her heart is a deep well of secrets, emotions, dreams and desires; her silence has many shades, many meanings; she is always shifting, moving, never quite still. Gokul Gopalakrishnan’s THE SEA INSIDE is the shortest piece in this collection, and yet, the most poignant.

Way past midnight at the city railway station, the protagonist of AMMA discovers that the night is still young and holds strange sights. Anil K.S. renders his debut comic in a distinctive pen-and-ink style, the use of black is minimal, and yet it envelopes like the night itself.

First published as a short web comic and featured on Robot 6, Roshan’s silent short ANTI-SOCIAL NETWORKING is a biting satire on the 24-7-365-connected life.

It was an open-and-shut case - Mr. Gomes murdered his wife and gave himself up. But his confession is the rambling of a twisted mind… or is it? A masterful tale by Anupam Arunachalam and Manoj A. Menon, SUNSHINE is a story of love gone horribly wrong.
