About the series
In 2007–2008, Virgin Comics reimagined the ancient Indian fable collection Panchatantra through the lens of Samit Basu’s modern storytelling and Ashish Padlekar’s vivid art. This five-issue series reframes the classic animal tales as a cohesive, epic narrative, blending timeless moral lessons with a fresh, contemporary visual sensibility. It stands as a notable fusion of Eastern folklore and Western comic craft, offering a vibrant entry point into one of the world’s oldest story cycles.
