Amar Chitra Katha #531

Amar Chitra Katha's Vol. 531 brings the Mahabharata's most compelling tragic hero to vivid life — Karna, the brave, generous, ill-fated prince. The cover captures him at a moment of intense struggle, richly adorned in royal jewelry and a jeweled crown, kneeling on a battlefield strewn with broken bows and arrows as he strains to lift a heavy chariot wheel from the mud, while the chaos of war rages on in the smoky distance behind him. It's a striking image of dignity under duress, and a fitting introduction to one of ancient Indian mythology's most deeply human figures.
