ROMAN HATYARA

Description

You are looking at “Roman Hatyara” (The Roman Assassin) — the second issue (GENL #79) in the legendary Super Commando Dhruv series from Raj Comics. Written and illustrated by the acclaimed creator Anupam Sinha, this is a landmark issue — notably the first comic Sinha wrote for Raj Comics and the debut appearance of Dhruv’s arch-enemy Grand Master Robo.

What makes this issue truly unique is that it is Dhruv’s only solo issue where he does not appear on the cover art — a rare and distinctive feature among the early Super Commando Dhruv series. The story follows Dhruv on his first professional assignment, where he confronts the deadly Roman Hatyara, a ruthless killer equipped with ancient Roman-style weapons and tactics.

Published by Raj Comics, the pioneers of the Indian superhero genre, this issue captures the bold storytelling and dynamic artwork that helped establish Super Commando Dhruv as one of India’s most beloved comic heroes. Spanning approximately 32 pages, this copy includes a collectible poster insert.
