Detailed Description

Yusuf Lien is an Indian book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the most illustrious comic book creators of Anant Pai's "Amar Chitra Katha" series, which has tales adapted from Indian mythology, history, folklore, and culture. Lien's interpretations of "Tansen" (1975) and "Mirabai" (1972) are among his best-known contributions. The series' portrayals of Muslims later caused the artist, a Muslim, problems. He left the comic book industry and became an expert in calligraphy.
