CHICAGO, Ill., May 1, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Super Sikh Comics LLC commenced production of issue #1 of their comic book series after successfully launching Issue #0 at C2E2, Chicago. With over 1,200 copies of Issue #0 sold in a single weekend, the immediate success of “SuperSikh” exceeded all expectations. <\/p>\n

A multiracial team of superheroes who activate their superpowers according to their chakras with yoga and meditation, greatly resonated amongst even the youngest fans. In the beginning, Co-Creators Ravi Singh and Amar Dev Khalsa (who is just 15 years old) had a vision to create a comic book about superheroes that children from all ethnic backgrounds within American communities can identify with. The goal was to promote equality and diversity through the means of art. <\/p>\n

Over several drafts, artist and owner of Super Sikh Comics LLC, Erik Carillo, developed the design of the main character “SuperSikh” along with his 7 friends, “The Atma Defenders.” Supersikh is sporting a beard and wearing a turban, while working as computer specialist in a modern American society. The antagonist of the story line is not merely a person or evil organization, but “Death” and “The 5 Thieves..” <\/p>\n

Jai Nitz, award winning writer of the “Green Hornet,” has agreed to serve as Chairman of Super Sikh Comics LLC Advisory Board: “I am thrilled to bring a multiracial superhero team to fruition. We are excited to hear from the fans on social media.” <\/p>\n

Combining science fiction with meditation and spirituality, this comic book is a new unique approach to the genre and bares personal significance to its creators: “Why are the guys that are wearing turbans always the bad guys?” Ravi Singh used to ask his mother when watching Saturday morning cartoons as a child. His mother’s response was, “Go ahead and create your own Superhero.” <\/p>\n

Issue #1 is in production and planned to be released in multiple languages in mid 2015.<\/p>\n
