“True Friendship”

In "True Friendship," a 1975 Amar Chitra Katha classic, the Banyan deer makes a profound choice that challenges the King of Varanasi’s hunting ways. Written by Anant Pai and brought to life with heartfelt art by Jeffrey Fowler—pencils, inks, colors, and letters all by him—this story explores compassion and sacrifice through a quiet act of courage. The cover, also by Fowler, captures the moment with gentle intensity.
