Swayambhu Entertainment and Bullseye Press present Planet Raakh, the first crossover in Indian comics, uniting Tamas (Incognito) and Zaalim Manjha.

CHANDIGARH, PUNJAB, INDIA, October 23, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Swayambhu Entertainment and Bullseye Press proudly announce the upcoming release of Planet Raakh, the first-ever crossover comic by two active Indian comic publishers. This 100-page book, initially announced on November 4, 2021, unites Tamas (Incognito) and Zaalim Manjha in an epic adventure that blends mythology with urban folklore.

A Historic Collaboration Began in 2021

The idea for Planet Raakh emerged during the development of Incognito 1, when Bhupinder Thakur, founder of Swayambhu Entertainment, approached Bullseye Press founder Ravi Raj Ahuja with the idea of a crossover.

"We were working on Incognito when I suggested the idea," Bhupinder recalls. "Ravi immediately saw the potential, and we knew we were creating something special."

Ravi Raj Ahuja, publisher and owner of Bullseye Press, shared:

"This is a rare opportunity. Collaborations like this are groundbreaking. Planet Raakh is a testament to what’s possible when two creative forces come together with a shared vision."

While the project was initially planned for Diwali 2022, it faced delays due to prior commitments, artist schedules, and a commitment to quality.
"The wait has been long, but we believe fans will love the result," Ravi added. "It’s thrilling to see this vision come to life."

Meet the Stars: Tamas and Zaalim Manjha

• Tamas (Incognito): Known as the “Eater of Souls,” Tamas is a morally complex anti-hero whose actions blur the lines between justice and vengeance.
• Zaalim Manjha: A witty, beedi-smoking paranormal investigator from Bullseye Press, Zaalim is as charming as he is unpredictable. His motto? "Kyuki pyaar zaalim hai re!"

Together, these two characters embark on an adventure filled with danger, humor, and unexpected alliances.

Sudeep Menon, the writer of Planet Raakh, shared his excitement:

"Bringing two unique characters together and making their worlds align was challenging but immensely rewarding. Fans will love the chemistry between Tamas and Zaalim—they’re a perfect match in the most unpredictable ways."

Laying the Groundwork: Hints and Easter Eggs

Hints of Planet Raakh have been scattered throughout Incognito 1 and Incognito 3, where characters like Idika and Karkadan were introduced to connect both universes.
