The comic magazine "Priya and Ashok in Europe" unveiled Wednesday is a unique form of storytelling using cartoons and graphic art form, said a release from the German consulate here.
The magazine is the outcome of a workshop where student artists and renowned cartoonists and graphic artists Sarnath Banerjee and Charbak Dipta from India, Joerg Reuter from Germany and Oliver Tallec from France participated.
