Do you know the name of it? 

A dame to kill for (Sin City 2) was panned, but I thought it was good. 

It's called Holy Terror. Didn't get great reviews.

Quote

1944: Imperial Japan still commands most of Asia. Determined to regain their hold on Burma, the British send a special forces unit – the Chindits – deep behind Japanese lines. Their mission is to attack the enemy wherever they find him. What awaits them is a nightmare equal to anything the Second World War can deliver. 

Colonel Keith Crosby and Doctor Alistair Whitamore have old scores to settle, being veterans of the long retreat through Burma two years before. But neither the jungle nor the foe have gotten any less savage, and when the shooting starts and the Japanese descend on the smaller British force in their midst, every man will be tested to his limit. 

Writer Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher, OUT OF THE BLUE, DREAMING EAGLES) and artist PJ Holden (The Stringbags, World of Tanks, Judge Dredd) present a special 4-issue Oversized Prestige Format Mini-Series – a tale of hellish jungle warfare, as apparently civilized human beings descend into an apocalyptic heart of darkness.

Not something that's Sikh centric per se, but features a visible Sikh character. Ennis is hit and miss for me, but I'm curious about this one.

He looks like my mama!

Most of us have an elder male relative who looks like him.

That looks interesting but I read Ennis's Punisher, it was very silly and immature. Might check this out though.

He tries too hard. It comes across as cringe. Subtlety is not his thing.

@dallysingh101Do you know the person who tried to get this graphic novel? What was their funding amount they were looking for? Its 5 years old but it would be interesting to know if maybe sikhsangat can fund such things.

I don't know him myself, but I'm sure he can be found and contacted reasonably easily if someone searched. We need to think about about distribution too. I think a fair few copies can be off loaded at big nagar kirtans for instance. Can't remember the amount but I'm sure it's on one of the previous posted links somewhere? 

Me and Bhagat Singh (the artist) also started working on a graphic novel, years ago but creative differences between us, and Bhagat not being sure the project would be economically viable, put that too rest.
