Graphic Stories are a popular genre of writing in English as well as in many other languages, and popular in many countries. However, there were no locally produced graphic stories in Pakistan in English, Urdu, or any of the regional languages before the publication of Abdul Sattar Edhi. The richly pictorial presentation of text in this genre is fascinating for children, and effective in attracting reluctant readers to the world of books.
Akhtar Hameed Khan is the second title in the Graphic Stories series based on the life of prominent Pakistanis. This graphic story gives us pictorial glimpses of the renowned philanthropist Akhtar Hameed Khan’s life, who left his government job before the creation of Pakistan to start social work for deprived people. His biggest achievement was the Orangi Pilot Project, where he showed people how they could achieve bigger goals through selfhelp.
