...sharply edited the selections for a variety of styles, subjects and cultures. Perfect for a newcomer, each contribution has a short accompanying intro to the artist. It mixes artists from Croatia, Hungary and Malaysia with many of America's new generation of comix creators. Tom Hart's fat, almost crude lines perfectly match the brutal ecstasy of his superb "Sandra Brown," a story of lust and mud.

For a more organic transportation option, try a guided tour on the back of an elephant?the maharajas hunted in this style. You can also reserve an evening in a crude wooden watchtower called a machaan, where you can stealthily observe a watering hole as the creatures of the night go on the prowl. With luck, you might spot a tiger. Without it, you might just see the brigand Veerappan as he hauls you away into the leafy deeps...
