This paper considers both shortform and longform comics by select women author/artists of India and aims to situate them in the corpus of the Indian comics industry, along with providing a critical evaluation of women representation on the reformed comic book page by said authors and artists. The representation of women in the Indian comics scene before the advent of the graphic novel in 2004 (with Sarnath Banerjee's Corridor) is dominated by masculine projections of femininity, where, given the context of Indian societal values, visuality becomes a pretext of stereotypical depictions and unreal or generally misconstrued gender roles. Comics in India have developed in their journey from being children-centric nationalist and educational icons (as in Amar Chitra Katha) to counter-cultural superhero narratives (as in Raj Comicsand Indrajal Comics) and have grown into the social realism of twenty-first century graphic novelsholding the hands of contemporary independent comics artists and graphic novelists.

As a child with an imagination, I found myself relating to her day-dreaming, and letting her mind run away with itself – I would go as far as to say that Anne helped me to come out of my shell a little, her obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things and her never-ending determination and straightforward manner allowed me to grow into the person I wanted to be.
