THE ANCIENT KEEPERS COMIC

"To move a relic is to silence its story."

In a world where history is the ultimate black-market currency, The Ancient Keepers is a high-octane, contemporary thriller series that redefines the hunt for antiquity. This isn't about gold, fame, or museum pedestals. It’s about The Oath: to find, to protect, and—most importantly—to leave no trace.

From the shadow of Gwalior’s forts to the submerged secrets of the deep, the series follows an unlikely duo standing between humanity's greatest wonders and the syndicates that would see them dismantled for profit.

The Keepers

MANOJ (The Brain): A brilliant polymath and structural engineer who views history as a series of complex, living machines. Manoj doesn't just see ruins; he sees blueprints and gears. He is the tactical heart of the operation, haunted by the crushing weight of a single mistake that could erase centuries of culture.

ADITI (The Spirit): A fearless archaeologist and world-class climber. While Manoj calculates, Aditi feels. She is the physical force capable of scaling frozen peaks and navigating lethal traps. She serves as the team’s moral anchor, firmly believing that some secrets are too dangerous for the modern world to hold.

The Mission: Preservation Over Possession

The duo operates on the cutting edge of Zero-Impact Exploration. Using advanced technology and ancient logic, they penetrate sites that have been sealed for millennia. Their goal isn't to "retrieve" the artifact—it's to stop radical organizations from weaponizing it and to re-seal the tomb so perfectly that the world never knows they were there.

The Chronicles (Volumes 1–23)

The series spans the globe, moving from the monsoon-drenched ruins of Hampi to the oxygen-thin altitudes of the Himalayas.
