Crustacean and Prof. Deep Choudhury is a bold leap into the unknown – a graphic novel where the restless tides of the Bay of Bengal conceal more than myths. Beneath the fathomless trench of the Swatch of No Ground, an alien civilization thrives: the Crustaceans – radiant and intelligent amphipods whose existence defies human imagination.
But the story doesn’t remain in the ocean depths alone. Far away, in a remote village of North Bengal, behind the crumbling walls of a medieval palace, the Crustaceans have built a temporary settlement, silently observing humanity. It is here that Professor Deep Choudhury, an art historian, stumbles upon the uncanny intersection of forgotten architecture and an alien world.
Illustrated with striking visuals and crafted with cinematic pace, this graphic novel plunges readers into a realm where history, ruins, and the abyss of the sea converge – where science meets legend, and where the deepest waters echo with secrets of life itself.
