Tadam Gyadu from Arunachal Pradesh, who sketches for Marvel comics from India, looks forward to sharing and exchanging ideas with those who want to pursue sketching as a career. Tadam, a fan of Spider-Man and Wolverine, says his break with Marvel is his biggest accomplishment and dream come true. Tadam says, “Getting into Marvel was not easy; I got my break in 2022 when I approached an art representative.”
How can one recognise Tadam’s Marvel work? “Look for subtle Indian things, like Hindi on a wall graffiti, or an Indian character in the background.”
Jatin Varma, Founder of Comic Con India is excited: “This year, we’re taking it up by a notch by extending the festival to three days. Fans’ passion has fueled us to expand the event, bringing more thrilling experiences with a wider range of activities for everyone to enjoy.
