Writer
Anurag Kumar Singh
Anurag Kumar Singh hails from Bihar and is one of the creative brains that can be credited for coming up with a thousand ideas per minute. He has been an active part of Raj Comics Brain Trust and is someone who knows the history and chronology of Raj Comics Universe better than the route to his home.
Colouring Artist
Ishan Trivedi
Lucknow College of Arts and Crafts alumni, Ishan is a man of many talents. Besides coloring some of the classic covers and comics in the last two decades, he has also lent his inimitable art to Doga Diaries and several other stories. Ishan’s colors have an earthen Indian feel to them and that’s what makes him one of the most unique voices working in comics today.
Writer & Editor
Mandar Gangele
Mandar Gangele also known as WishuMady started as an active member of Raj Comics Forum. From writing, editing, inking to lettering there’s hardly any department in comic book creation where Mandar hasn’t proved his mettle. His leap from the forum to becoming one of the indispensable parts of Raj comics creative team is nothing short of a Superhero origin story. Sadly, Mandar is yet to finalize a super-costume for himself. Mandar is also one of the very few writers who didn’t get death threats after writing a Non-Anupam Sinha Super Commando Dhruv miniseries, and that, in itself, speaks volumes.
Illustrator
