Even better... thanks to the great support of Stacy Zemke in the University of Oklahoma Libraries, there will also be a collection on reserve in Bizzell Library so that students in my classes will be able to read ACK comics for my Indian Epics class!
And that is the reason for this blog: I need an online space where I can prepare the Reading Guides to go with the books. I want to collect links to Wikipedia articles and other online resources, images, videos, anything I can find to supplement the book and help connect one story to another. Slowly but surely I will make my way through the comic books, starting with the ones most relevant to my classes. I am so pleased to be able to offer this reading option to my students, along with all the other online resources we will be using. For the other Reading Guides and class resources, see this blog: Indian Epics Resources.
Update: The package arrived! Here they are on my bookshelf, minus the 3-volume Mahabharata (gorgeous) and the hardcover Bhagavatam:
