Graphic Novels publisher Campfire is celebrating after winning two awards at Comic Con India.
The 2012 convention - officially the 2nd Annual Indian Comic Con - was held in New Delhi from February 17 to 19, a day longer than 2011's inaugural event.
This time it also introduced an awards ceremony for publishers, artists and writers from the local comics industry.
Campfire's biographical title Nelson Mandela: The Unconquerable Soul won the top prize of Best Graphic Novel.
Author Lewis Helfand was not able to attend but recorded a message saying: "I think a lot of us grew up wanting to create comic books and to have the chance to not only create comics, and create books that we believe in, but to have people respond to our work in such a positive way, is absolutely amazing."
Sankha Banerjee, who produced the art for the book, collected the prize.

It has never happened before, but it's sure to happen again.
India's first ever Comic-Con saw 15,000 people converge on Delhi. The two-day convention was a phenomenal success, far exceeding the expectations of both the organisers (Twenty Onwards Media) and the participants.
In its inaugural year, Comic-Con India 2011 provided a much-needed platform for publishers, retailers, writers and illustrators to meet each other, and their fans, in a relaxed environment.
Most of the 35 companies present boasted sales much above what they had anticipated. Campfire graphic novels, for example, raked in more revenue during the first day of the Comic-Con than in 10 days at the Delhi Book Fair, while Level 10 Comics and Vimanika sold out of all their stock by halfway through the second day.
Sales, although important, were of course only one aspect of the event. A programme of workshops, activities and book launches literally took centre stage...
