Khooni Yatra – MRP5 Reprint

Description

Journey into the neon-lit underworld of New York as Nagraj embarks on his bloodiest expedition yet in this landmark Special Edition. “Khooni Yatra”, originally published as Issue #7 (GENL #50) by Raj Comics in 1987, is the thrilling second part of the legendary Khooni trilogy written by Manoj Gupta under the pen name Raja. Leaving behind the jungles and temples of his earlier adventures, Nagraj sets foot in the concrete wilderness of America to hunt down the most ruthless terrorist the world has ever known — William, the kingpin of New York and Chicago’s smuggling empire.

The story plunges readers into a dark labyrinth of crime, conspiracy, and personal vendettas. Nagraj tracks down Don, the only mobster who knows William’s whereabouts, only to find him targeted by his own trusted associate Florida. With his serpentine reflexes, Nagraj saves Don’s life and becomes entangled in a deadly misunderstanding between Florida and Don. As Florida discovers that Don was responsible for her father Mayor Franklin’s murder, and as William’s sinister plans unfold on his remote island fortress, Nagraj must navigate a web of betrayal while battling William’s army. This issue marks a turning point in the Nagraj saga — shifting from globe-trotting solo missions to deeply personal narratives that explore themes of revenge, justice, and redemption.

Authenticity & Value

“Khooni Yatra” is a cornerstone of the legendary Khooni trilogy — three consecutive issues (Khooni Khoj, Khooni Yatra, and Nagraj Ka Insaaf) that transformed Nagraj from a globe-trotting solo hero into a character with deeply rooted personal stakes. Written by Raj Comics co-founder Manoj Gupta under the pen name Raja, and illustrated by the talented duo of Chandu and Vinay M Kumar, this issue represents the golden dawn of Indian superhero fiction. The 1987 publication year places it in the earliest era of Nagraj comics, when Raj Comics was establishing its iconic characters. Original MRP ₹5 copies from this era are becoming increasingly rare in the collector market, making this authorised reprint a valuable and accessible entry point for enthusiasts of vintage Indian comics.
