According to an article in the Bangkok Post, a new comic book with 212 pages of comics has appeared in Bangkok, depicting Thaksin Shinatwata as a hero.
"An unidentified man burst into the press room at Government House and asked reporters to help distribute the books to children and teenagers. The man said he represented KK Publishing company executive Pakorn Suksathu, who published the comic chronicling Mr Thaksin's life from childhood to the day he was ousted. "
The comic book, priced at 150 baht, portrays Mr Thaksin as a hero of the poor.
"He will be back," announces a narrator in the story. The narrator admires Mr Thaksin's populist policies, particularly for rural people who enjoyed state loan programmes and free medical care. "
