The demon-king Ravana, born of a union between the holiest of mortals and a demon princess, has risen from an obscure beginning at a hermitage to conquer not just hell but heaven too. No less than a god to his own people, he is the sheer embodiment of evil to his enemies. This arrogant demon brooks no hindrance to snatching his heart's desire, and his terror seems unstoppable to gods and humans alike. But he makes a mistake when he abducts the wife of Lord Rama, the exiled divine ruler of Ayodhya.
Ravana is a story of a demon, who dared to challenge the gods, and almost got away with it. Ravana's tale is one that will incite awe and fear simultaneously. Whose side was this enigma on, good or evil? The obvious answer seems to be but one: his own. Or was he really? This graphic novel seeks to explore that question, and others.

Review

"I highly recommend Campfire’s comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in a way that excites kids about classic literature." — Chris Wilson, The Graphic Classroom (a resource for teachers and librarians)

"This book is beautifully illustrated. . . . On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Ravana a solid 9." — John Tompkins, Children's Librarian/Graphic Novel Specialist

"I cannot say enough good things about the art. The almost hauntingly beautiful watercolors make the story feel appropriately epic." — Jennifer, No Flying No Tights

About the Author

Half good half okay but artwork is BEAUTIFUL enough to keep you glued

Reviewed in India on 4 July 2020

Verified Purchase

Brillaintly designed Graphic Novel for those who are looking for a straightforward narration of Ravana's life. I believe Ravana as a character was much more deeper and the writing could have done more justice. But nevertheless its a beautiful comic book for starters.
I really liked the first half of the book as it was mostly concentrating on how Dashaana was taking his journey of becoming Raavan but after that it just became a fast forward book Ramayana.
I wish we have seen more of Ravana and Seeta how he felt about her.
Still after all my gripes I feel we should appreciate more and more artists to keep bringing these graphic novels in existence as to create a great comic environment in India.

I LOVED IT! First of all

Reviewed in India on 1 February 2017

Verified Purchase

I LOVED IT! First of all, I am so impressed with Amazon delivery service. I received the package in excellent condition. No wear and tear on the book. The aroma of the new book was still afresh. I skimmed through the pages quickly and must say that graphics are really good and the story telling is just as I had wanted. I bought this as a gift for my foreign friend who doesn't understand Hindi for obvious reasons but is very interested in mythology and loves to read. But I didn't want to pile them up with the whole lengthy epics in detail. I wanted to start it small.This book summarizes the great epic wonderfully enough for them to understand the gist of it. Thanks you Amazon and thank you the author and the artists.Great work!

very good graphics but...

Reviewed in India on 27 March 2015

Verified Purchase

The illustrations are very good and the style of first person narration for mythology is refreshing. The author started the story with a lot of substance about the character of Ravana but then somewhere lost it. There seems to be no detailing later on and the story stuck to the most acceptable folklore.
Even though I like the way in which the story goes but it leaves much to be desired in terms of character development. The story starts slow and steady building on Ravan but then it rushed right through till the end.
I would have liked the author to add a perspective from the character's POV since he used first person narration.
Amazon deserves mention for blazing fast delivery!!

Good, but...

Reviewed in India on 4 January 2021

Verified Purchase

The book was good at the starting and artwork was of no match, it was pure delight to look at artwork. But the book seems too short for completing the life of Ravan. Said this, still it was enjoyable. But I reduced one start for not showing some major incidents like coming of Angad to Lanka, Ravan helping Ram to worship Shiva and death of Ahiravan. Still, it is a worth buy.

It was a tough decision but i love it so much. Wow i still can't believe I have it now. Thank you Author for such a beautiful story and thank you illustrator for such beautiful paintings. Yes Paintings. I hope you would do more books like these in the future. If so AM DEFINITELY buying this.
P.S. I love it mainly because everything about it is from MY country. And because its so good.

Mythos written (& drawn) with pathos towards Ravana

Reviewed in India on 10 November 2020

Verified Purchase

Great dialogue and exposition; concise re-telling of most of the Ramayana (from Ravana’s POV), as well as his childhood years.

Artwork is quite apt, depicting our mythological figures in the grandiose ways to which we are accustomed.

I enjoyed the quick pace, even though there are some deeply philosophical ramifications of ravana’s actions that a thoughtful reader can ponder. I’ll definitely re-read my favourite parts (Hanuman especially) occasionally.

Beautiful rendition of Ravan’s story

Reviewed in India on 8 September 2019

Verified Purchase

Likes: illustrations and Ravan’s depiction is great. One illustration in the climax showing Ravan with 10 heads is simply phenomenal.

Dislikes: Paper quality and book binding is poor. There may be a few factual inaccuracies too.

Verdict: it’s worth buying just for the graphics and Ravan’s characterisation.

Go, get it!!

Reviewed in India on 12 August 2018

Great work of art and plot progression. Completely changes your perception of one of the greatest villan of the Hindu mythology. Hell, you might end up growing some respect for the much hated antagonist. A good read, although sometimes the narration got a tad bit too repetitive but it didn't ruin the experience.

If you are into graphic novels and mythology you might want to check out this book.

Reviewed in the United States on 20 June 2015

Verified Purchase

I have read quite a few mythology tales done in a graphic novel format the last few years. I have been familiar with most of them, having read many tales of Greek and Roman mythology about the ancient Gods in school.

I was not familiar with this Indian mythology tale (Ravana: Roar of the Demon King by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia and art by Sachin Nagar) and just finished reading this 104 page graphic novel. I found the story interesting and the art work was superb. I did not realize that Ravana was “the most reviled villain in all Hindu mythology.”

This is a story about a mortal who was made a God but his vile and quick temper made him make irrational decisions and he failed to learn from them until the very end of the story. He was powerful and strong, thinking he could easily beat all of his enemies and in the beginning he seemed to be invincible. However, his ego and refusal to learn from past mistakes guaranteed his downfall.

If you are into mythological tales of India, you should check out this interesting graphic novel.

Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute).
