Pakistan man is the
first of its kind comic book in Pakistan. It is the first super hero comic book in the country. There is nothing like this in the
market for young people. We have launched a product that is fun
and also educational. It raises awareness and also gets kids into reading and
develops their vocabulary and writing skills. After self-publishing and printing the first issue
with our own money all the issues were sold out in a month after being
printed. Pakistan man has now launched 5 issues and it is getting more and more
success with people demanding more comics and editions. This comic is
particularly popular among young people ages 8-12 that are inspired by the
super hero character and also learn about Pakistani issues. Pakistan man is
also getting recognition from abroad as multiple universities in USA have
ordered this comic book to be placed in their libraries. Some of the
universities that have ordered this comic book include University of Chicago,

book is representing Pakistan internationally and changing the image of this
country. We are on a mission of going into schools and
helping to eradicate the illiteracy of Pakistan through this comic.
