Karna: Victory in Death: 14 (Campfire Graphic Novels) Paperback – 8 August 2017

I bought this graphic novel on a friend’s reference. I must say, I have been off graphic novels for a long time. I used to be a great fan of Mandrake ~ the Magician. For years, I could not indulge in comics.But am glad, I picked this one up. For starters, with any mythological story there’s always a challenge, since the story is already known. And the best one could do is present it in an interesting way.That’s where this book scores. The author has added interesting flavor to the narrative. On the other hand, the work of the artist, is awe-inspiring. In many of the frames, I felt like I was staring at a hero as in movies. The picture had come alive.But the key inspiring factor for me, was the weaving of a story that made Karna a Hero, the reader would root for. Truly, the credit goes to the author for such a beautiful portrayal of a - ”flawed hero”. Yet, for me, Karna seemed more of a “doomed hero” then a flawed one.Of course, the story has nothing new to offer, but the narrative surely does. As far as an experience of reading a graphic novel is concerned, this is a definite pick.

The graphics of this book are good and the storytelling too is compelling and attractive for all ages. If Karna intrigues you as a character then you must buy this book as a memorabilia

Comes on good condition with laminated cover, worth buying for art lovers 😁.

It was an okayish book... Pages are too much which helps in detailing of story... The best thing about this book is that it shows names of about 80 kauravs and all the weapons of Karna such as Bhagvatastra, Nagastra, Kankaalam, etc. which is known to very less... Artwork is also very good by Sachin Nagar

Amazing artwork. Jaw dropping… 🙏

He took the wrong side but he was loyal to the only one who truly valued him i.e. Duryodhana. Almost everyone criticized him because he was from a lower caste but Karna was a matchless warrior with unparalleled skill set. Nobody could match his prowess. Not even Arjuna. He respected Lord Krishna even when he did not agree with Him. He wasn't faultless. He should have questioned Duryodhana's motives but he was loyal to his best friend. Karna - the son of Sun God took offense quickly but he was kind and charitable too. The choice he made was the most difficult one. Gita may have been told to Arjuna because of his humility and moral vision but Karna was the most riveting character in the battle of Mahabharata who won the respect of everyone entailing the ones who despised him.This graphic novel retells the story of Karna in a stimulating way. The illustrations are splendid but some of them could have been better. Apart from a few grammatical errors, the novel was impressive due to its rich illustrations.Karna's story bequeaths us strength and conviction. He inspires us with his determination to succeed despite the obstacles which impede his progress. His indomitable will to fight against fate to overcome the odds invigorates us and rejuvenated my spirit.Karna is an unforgettable character in the epic Mahabharata and his story is cherished not only by humans but also demigods themselves.I give this graphic novel 3.5 stars out of 5.

Well illustrated & Well Written.

Read the whole book within 2 hours. Now you can relate how good and interest this book is. Highly recommend to read this to learn more about Indian Warriors mostly "KARNA".
