Unvergängliche Bildergeschichten #3
"Angulimala" from Unvergängliche Bildergeschichten #3 (1991) presents a haunting, meditative tale rooted in the ancient forests of Kosala, where the fearsome bandit Angulimala terrorizes travelers with ruthless precision. Written by Subba Rao and brought to life through the unified art, inks, and colors of Pratap Mullick, the story unfolds with quiet intensity as the enlightened Buddha enters the outlaw’s world not with force, but with unwavering presence. The cover, also by Pratap Mullick, captures the stark contrast between violence and stillness that defines this powerful encounter.

In den Wäldern des indischen Königreichs Kosala lebt der gefürchtete Strassenräuber Angulimala. Er lauert reisenden Kaufleuten auf, um sie zu überfallen, auszuplündern und zu töten. Aus Angst vor ihm reist jedoch bald niemand mehr durch sein Jagdgebiet. Da beschliesst Buddha, der Erleuchtete, sich ihm gegenüberzustellen. Buddhas absolute Gewaltlosigkeit lässt Angulimala plötzlich sein eigenes schreckliches Dasein gewahr werden.
