Title: Building my Indian mythic graphic novel universe – Gyanganj (7-volume plan)
I Am Parteek Yadav- an indie graphic novel (Gyanganj) creator and I’m working on my own graphic novel series called Title: Building my Indian mythic graphic novel universe – Gyanganj (7-volume plan)
I’m working on my own graphic novel series called Gyanganj — a mythic, hidden realm set deep within the Himalayas, existing beyond normal time.
In my version, Gyanganj (also known as Siddhashram) is not just a spiritual place, but a guarded dimension where higher beings like Saptarshi and Chiranjivi figures exist — but I’ve reimagined it with a darker, conflict-driven narrative.
Volume 1 – Aarambh (The Beginning)
The story starts with three friends who go on a trip to the Himalayas.
After a series of accidental events, they discover a hidden cave containing a divine flower called Siddhipushpa, which grants them powers.
They are taken in by monks who begin training them to awaken these abilities.
But soon, a darker truth emerges — demons are searching for this flower.
A conflict unfolds, monks are killed, and before dying, a Guru gives them a map to Gyanganj.
To reach it, they must overcome the five inner human flaws.
Along the journey, one of the friends — Aditya — gets separated… and eventually returns as an antagonist.
Planned Structure (7 Volumes)
Volume 1: Origin, powers, separation
Volume 2: Aditya’s villain arc
Volume 3: Demon world introduction + first large-scale attack
Volume 4: Shapeshifter arc
Volume 5: Massive war (Gyanganj vs Demon world)
Volume 6: Main antagonist Devvrat enters
Volume 7: Final war conclusion (not a typical ending)
Each volume is planned as a full-length graphic novel (book format).
Universe Expansion (Beyond Gyanganj)
The world expands beyond a single hidden city.
There will be 4 additional ancient civilizations, each built around a core philosophy:
A Magic-based city
An Astra (weapons/energy) civilization
A Martial arts–driven society
A lost submerged continent inspired by Kumari Kandam
Core Idea
This isn’t just a story about powers or battles —
it’s about transformation, inner conflict, and hidden knowledge.
Would love honest feedback on:
The structure
The pacing of volumes
And the overall concept

Hi,
My name is Parteek. I am creating a graphic novel series named Gyanganj. I am preparing for a government job and side by side I am making this manga. Currently, I haven,t enough money to pay an artist. I pitched some comic studios but, nobody replied. I have made posts many times asking many artists for collab. but they say, if you haven,t money to pay then why should you see the dream to making manga. Then, i decided to make it with ai. Now, i generate the images through chatgpt, while I give detailed prompt in which lights , camera , direction flow , everything I imagined manually, ai only draws. then i arranged every image into comic panel in canva. Guys, don't you see how much effort I am putting in this. People who are making it with ai they make complete pages with ai . 1 prompt and every thing draws ai while I am putting manual efforts also for writing direction panelling character design. Anyways , I am attaching some pages that I have made.
