ABSTRACT:

Graphic Medicine, the intersection between comic books and medicine/healthcare, is growing worldwide, especially in India. Among its pioneers there is Sathyaraj Venkatesan, whose approach and utilization of Graphic Medicine may come with a cultural bent. Maintaining an appreciation for cultural specificity in each Graphic Medicine community worldwide will aid, in this Blue Age of Comic Books (Resha 2020), to maintain local Identity while contributing to a transnational guild of creators, scholars, practitioners, educators, librarians, students, patients, and their families.
