ComIN stands for ​Comics in India​. As the name suggests, the discussions under this will be largely surrounded by primarily two themes: Comics+India. The need for such a space has been felt for a long time. A space that provides the scope of dialogues to researchers, practitioners, publishers, and fans of the medium. ComIN tries to bring that space to a diverse audience.

This year the theme of ComIN is Asian voices in Pandemic. It has been more than a year of living with the COVID crisis. The word ‘pandemic’ is now etched inside our generations forever. The crisis has affected almost all aspects of human lives. Like all necessities of life, education is affected severely as the teaching-learning experience shifts to online modes. Comics scholarship such as graphic medicines, trauma comics, survival comics, memoirs of covid and similar themes of discourse proposes contemporary subjects to be discussed and understood. This year, ComIN focuses on bringing the discussion from the Asian context about the status of comics scholarship during the time of COVID crisis.
