Digital artist Manoj Omre has been winning hearts with his ingenious reimaginations of classic subjects in alternate scenarios, supplemented by AI. His latest Instagram drop is of the ‘Mughal Comic Universe’, incorporating comic book characters into classic Mughal paintings. We can’t help but be awestruck at the intricate detailing, as Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, The Hulk, and even Deadpool embody the regal magic of 17th century South Asia. Each of them seem to be crime fighters at night, and admirers of poetry and art in the day. We’d love to see even more characters brought into this series!
