Appucalypse:
Part One and Two, in which Appupen speaks of his previous avatars –tattoo artist, muralist, advertising guy, activist and musician – all of which inescapably
led him into becoming what he is today – creator of the now familiar dystopian world of Halahala, where he settled down as a storyteller. Known for his bold and distinctive
visual style and minimal text, his stories provide a sharp social and political commentary on issues relating to, among other things, political control over personal and artistic
freedom and the impact of technology on our lives.

Using clips and images to illustrate his journey to the present (see the short bio below), Appupen also shares some of his artwork with us.
In Part Three of the Appucalypse our moderator Drishti Rakhra will be in conversation with Appupen and also invite us to pepper him with our questions
about the enticing world of Halahala and the possibility of joining him there!
Writer and artist Appupen has been making comics in India since 2005.
