Featured Writers and core team
Aalok Joshi
On some weekends, to blow off steam, wins spelling-bee's at the Elephanta Caves!
Aalok Joshi is a total fanboy and claims to read everything in the comics genre but American comics and Syndicated strips totally win him over. He has been reading comics since he was 5 and started off with Indrajal Comics. After his relatives started pestering him about changing his reading habits, he switched over to novels after junking his erstwhile collection. Gotham Comics, the Indian Authorized publisher of DC/Marvel brought him back in 2002 and he has stayed here ever since. Now concentrating largely on DC and slightly on Marvel and few selected independents, he is interested and taking steps towards writing for the genre. He also dabbles in illustration and his dream is one newspaper style cartoon per day.

Akshay Dhar
Simultaneously discovered the meaning of life and forgot to write it down.
A writer when life permits, a music and nature lover, attempted humourist, arm-chair philosopher and random road traveller… a strangely hopeful cynic first and foremost from all accounts. Slacker, nerd, scribbler, Wayfarer and day-dreamer - somehow ended up as Editor here at CA so miraculous that anything gets out on time, shows the skill and efficiency of the writers!
Once a young geek-in-the-making who migrated and "matured" from comics to literature and more esoteric reading and thought, eventually found his way back to the graphic fold a few years back. Loves to let his mind wander and at times it takes forever to find its way home. Loves all comics so long as they are not just pretty pictures - but will make exceptions for masters like Geof Darrow and J.H.Williams III.
Amanda White
Amanda White lives in Augusta, Maine, USA. Amanda has a background in journalism and has been a proud geek all her life. She is also the founder and president of Comic Geeks Unite.
Anirudh Singh
Is planning on writing a thesaurus that includes a huge magnitude of swear words. Andy is a voracious reader and comic book nerd whose passion for squiggly things inside bubbles on top of cartoons was kindled when he was but a wee lad. Since then he has tried unsuccessfully to become an artist himself and now pretends to be an artist. He has some talent for the written script and he can be found greatly exaggerating and misusing this talent to woo hapless women on street corners who might fall for bad poetry. That aside he's not a bad sort of fellow.
Anubhav Sharma
Thinks he knows who'd win if Batman took on the Ghostbusters.
ANUBHAV SHARMA believes in God. He calls him Alan Moore. He enjoys Comic books, snooker and daydreaming about winning big at poker. He is a Computer engineering student and likes his entertainment to be intelligent. Also, he tends to refer to himself in the third person. A lot.
