Amar Chitra Katha #42

In "Parashurama," the legendary warrior is born from divine wrath when Kartavirya Arjuna’s tyranny draws the ire of the gods. Granted the mighty axe Parashu by Shiva, he becomes a force of retribution after his father Jamadagni is slain. With the weight of vengeance driving him, Parashurama embarks on a relentless campaign to purge the Kshatriya class from the earth. Written by Kamala Chandrakant and illustrated entirely by Madhu Powle—pencils, inks, colors, and letters—this 1973 Amar Chitra Katha classic captures a pivotal myth with striking visual storytelling. The cover by Madhu Powle sets the tone for a tale of power, duty, and the cost of justice.
