With acid attack survivors as superheroes, this digital comic book is winning hearts all over
22:24:00Priya's Shakti is back with a second chapter of its digital comic book series called Priya's Mirror, and this one aims to raise awareness about acid attacks in India and around the world.
Priya's Mirror is the second chapter in the Priya series, first being the hugely successful Priya's Shakti comic book, which was first introduced in 2014's Comic-con festival.
Priya's Shakti was downloaded more than 500,000 since its release in December 2014.
The inspiring idea of having a gang rape survivor as a superhero in a comic book came after the horrific December 16 gang rape in Delhi in 2012, which was covered widely around the world and triggered large-scale protests in India.
Both the comic books have been launched by filmmaker Ram Devineni, illustrator Dan Goldman and Lina Srivastava.
While Priya's Shakti conveyed the ordeal and struggles of a gang rape survivor named Priya, in Priya's Mirror, the superhero will be seen inspiring a group of acid attack survivors to escape the rule of the demon king, Ahankar-- Ego in Hindi.
