Seems there isn't much to write about at the moment so I thought I'd highlight a few books from my Indonesian collection. Today's feature is a series of comics by renowned author R.A. Kosasih whose comic-book versions of the Hindu epics are much sought after. I stumbled upon these during my inaugural trip to Plaza Semanggi one weekend at this little shop -
These comics, first published over 40 years ago according to the blurb on the back cover, have been compiled into 4 hardcover and one softcover editions. Each compilation contains between 300 and 640 pages. There are 5 compilations available -
Mahabharata A (640 pages)
Mahabharata B (608 pages)
Bharatayudha (672 pages)
Pandawa Seda (320 pages)
Parikesit (318 pages)
Prabu Udayana (I didn't manage to obtain this one; it'll have to wait till I get there again next time)
