Panthrandu Ravukal is the first chithra katha published in Malayali background.
It started publishing in 1975 in Manorajyam weekly published from Kottayam by Dr. George Thomas, at a time when only foreign comics like Mandrake, Phantom, Tarzan and stories from Indian classics Mahabharatham and Ramayanam were seen in Malayalam periodicals.
Panthrandu Ravukal is a psychic story where natural events seem to transform as super natural in terms of its timings which entice the protagonist to do the sin and then disown him to face the pathetic end.
