LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
To most of us, Mario de Miranda needs no introduction. Even those that don’t know him by name would probably recognize his unique style of artwork. He was an artist like no other, inarguably one of the best cartoonists India has ever seen.

2012

The Beast Legion, Issue #6 Onwards (www.thebeastlegion.com), by Jazyl Homavazir.
simple everyday things of his surrounding, mostly from his undying love for Goa. Mario de Miranda passed away on the 11th of December, 2011.

He has been knighted by the Portuguese government, awarded Spain’s highest civilian honor and the Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India, apart from many other awards and distinctions. Truly, it is an honor for us to be presenting the Comic Con India Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously to one of the greatest Indian artists ever.
