Many Hindus have been shocked over the distortion of the Hindu goddess, Kali's image, in Titan Comics. Many are seeking the withdrawal of all the comics containing distorted image of Kali from the stores and online.
Titan Comics, headquartered in London, the comics and graphic novel division of global publishing giant, Titan, with brands such as James Bond and Sherlock Holmes.
Titan Comics has allegedly described Kali on its website, stating, “Kali, oldest and deadliest of these creatures, was thought defeated long, long ago; her body scattered throughout time to prevent her return.”
Goddess Kali personifies “Shakti”, or divine energy. She is considered the goddess of time and change and is widely worshipped in Hinduism.
Rajan Zed, President of Universal Society of Hinduism has expressed his disappointment over the distorted images of the goddess, and also believes referring to goddess Kali as a “creature” was hurtful to her devotees.
