Buddhist Comics (printed, not stand up)
On this Free Comic Book Day, I wanted to post a link to Comic Book Religion, who have a section of their website dedicated to “Buddhist superheroes, villans and other characters”.
Oh man..You tell me if Karmatron – The Most Powerful Kundalini Warrior in the Universe doesn’t sound like a crazy character.
With a whopping list of of over 18,000 characters, 121 magic-mala waving Buddhists can be found within the Comic Book Religion database. The shenpa-laden, collector in me wants to pick up every darn issue listed but I will work with this desire and focus on the comics I already have floating around the house. One such set of graphic novels is Osamu Tezuka’s “Buddha” series, which Shambhala SunSpace recently posted would be made into a film, released in 2010.
***I completely forget which Buddhablogger initally posted a link to this site as my RSS feed reader crapped out, so please send me a comment if you are the person cool enough to find this so I can add you back to my feedreader.

Karmatron, what a great name!
