Amar Chitra Katha #250

In "Sambhaji Son of Shivaji," the legacy of a great king hangs in the balance as the eldest son of Shivaji, Sambhaji, faces a dangerous plot from his stepmother, who seeks to place her own son, Ramjaram, on the throne. Written by Sanjivani Kher and brought to life with bold, expressive artwork by Dilip Kadam—handling pencils, inks, colors, and letters—this 1981 issue from Amar Chitra Katha captures a pivotal moment in Indian history with care and drama. The cover, by P. G. Sirur, sets the tone with a striking portrait of Sambhaji, a prince at the crossroads of duty and destiny.
