The first character-based collection launches in the coming weeks.

Created by the prolific Abhijeet Kini, an award-winning comics illustrator, and animator, ‘The Non-Fungible Man’, is the latest superhero on the block, in the web3 era, which will possess a series of unique traits, including some very rare ones.
Karan Kalra, Director, Comic Con India, commented, “The metaverse and the burgeoning world of Web3 is the next big thing, therefore we wanted to create a collection that bridged the gap between web3 and pop culture. The plan is to create long-term value for all those signing for our league."
Meanwhile, Jatin Varma, Founder, Comic Con India, commented, “our aim is to generate value for collectors joining our league, with tentatively multiple characters drops in the future, development of this IP into animation, comics and of course hosting our events in the Metaverse. The key is long-term value. And we hope the burgeoning community of NFT collectors and pop-culture fans will trust us like they have in the past with our other venture."
Performing on the Ethereum blockchain, the novel superhero will commence the league with a whole host of surprises that are sure to excite the burgeoning market of NFT collectors as well the larger community of pop-culture fans.
