Pratap Mullick
Pratap Mullick (also credited as Pratap Mulick) is an Indian illustrator who worked for the Indian comic book series Amar Chitra Katha created by writer and editor Anant Pai. Mullick also drew the first 50 issues of the popular Indian comic character Nagraj from 1986 until 1995. [1] He designed the comic-book character Supremo (based on movie star Amitabh Bachchan), who featured in a series published for two years in the 1980s.[2]
As a veteran illustrator, Mullick ran his own comics studio and training workshop in Pune, Maharashtra.[3] He is also the author of an art-instruction book Sketching, which according to the publisher's website is "a condensation of Pratap Mulick’s life-long devotion to figure drawing and illustration". A blurb on the book claims that 50,000 copies have been sold till date.
Karline McLain, a researcher who worked at the Amar Chitra Katha production offices, wrote a book which discusses the work of Amar Chitra Katha artists and records conversations with Pratap Mullick.[4]
