Mumbai-based comic book artist Abhijeet Kini’s Angry Maushi is a self-described sociopolitical satire about “an angry Mumbaikar, out to change the system in her own trademark way”. Maushi is a Maharashtrian woman who has trained in sword fighting and takes on an “evil ronin clan which has become an MNC and is launching a samurai robot army in India”.
Kini’s self-published book, which will be launched at the Comic-Con event in Mumbai on December 19, is the last part of a trilogy. The first part was published in 2012. The main character was first scribbled on a coaster. Since then, Angry Maushi has progressed in leaps and bounds. She has trained in martial arts and is ready to defend Mumbai and India from evil forces. This exclusive excerpt gives some measure of India’s very own Kill Bill-type avenging angel.
