Totan – Manoj Comics and Mahendra Jain have together imagined a superhero who not only protects his city like other superheroes but goes beyond that. Totan not only fights for his home planet Earth but also battles on other planets like Todo, where he was given life. Mahendra Jain has presented various twists in Totan’s story in a compelling manner. The author hasn’t hurriedly presented Totan’s personal life but has revealed it gradually in the pages of the Chitra Comics. The first comic of Totan was titled “Totan and Lavasur.” The story begins in Delhi, where a devil with wings…
Black Cat, AKA Richa Dhruv’s friend, or let’s say, his one-sided lover because Dhruv loves Natasha. Black Cat is a computer programmer, Raman’s daughter. She was deceived by Grand Master Robo to acquire a program, but Raman didn’t die then. Instead, he revealed the truth to his daughter, Richa, alias Black Cat, before his actual death, pointing fingers at Robo for all the deception. The revenge comics of Black Cat and Robo revealed this plot. However, in Dhruv’s Hunters comics, many more secrets come to light. In her childhood, Black Cat lived in an old town with her mother, where…
Natasha – The Crime World Queen, the daughter of Grand Master Robo, and once the commander of his army, known by all as Commander Natasha. When she saw Chanda sacrificing herself to save him, Natasha realized the value of others’ lives, and she left the world of crime to enter Dhruv’s world, perhaps because she was falling in love with him. Natasha’s entry into Dhruv’s life happened in the “Grand Master Robo” comics, where she was a research student pursuing a journalism course with a focus on “India and Geothermal Energy.” However, Natasha’s association with Robo took a sinister turn…
Anokhelal, also known as Crookbond, had a unique name, but he fancied himself as James Bond’s disciple. Due to this, everyone referred to him as Crookbond. Anokhelal’s fate or misfortune, depending on how you see it, was shaped by his father, who was a constable in the police force. Frustrated with his son’s peculiar and eccentric detective activities, Anokhelal’s father, Dhamaakasingh, found himself at the center of every experiment Crookbond conducted. Dhamaakasingh aspired for Anokhelal to become a successful officer through education. However, Anokhelal, a character as unusual as Crookbond, was not prepared to pass the tenth grade. He had…
In 2003, a film titled “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” introduced a character named Captain Jack Sparrow—a charming, cunning, and selfish individual. Describing himself as “definitely dishonest,” he believed that an honest man can be easily fooled anytime, anywhere. Such characters are often referred to as anti-heroes, and they have been popular not only in global cinema but also in Indian comics since the 1990s, featuring iconic characters like Kaal Paheliya, Grand Master Robo, and one such character, “Charlie,” from Tulsi Comics. Charlie, created by Prince Tumba, is the arch-enemy of Angara, the beloved hero…
The story of ‘Kaan’ – where ‘Kaa’ stands for law and ‘N’ stands for justice – is what this name signifies. When Manoj Comics first presented Kaan to the audience, their aim was to establish a connection with the viewers. Perhaps that’s why they crafted Kaan’s story without relying on fantasy. The tale of Kaan revolves around a beauty pageant where a contestant, Chitra, is murdered. The murderer collides with Kaan while fleeing, and as a form of punishment, Kaan cuts off his ear. That’s when we learn about Kaan’s story, as Kaan himself reveals that his real name is…
The story of Yugaandhar is about a man who was killed by demons, and it was he who, for his own selfish motives, gave the gift of life. The demons attempted to ride him on their magical chariot because as soon as someone climbed onto it, their mind would undergo a transformation. However, the demons and monsters did not know that this was all a ploy to eliminate them. Yugaandhar’s story dates back thousands of years when on this Earth, demons, monsters, and humans existed in three different segments. In one segment, there was the reign of the brutal Rakshasa…

When the Avengers movie came out, there was no consideration among the directors to bring one of its characters, Black Widow, into a solo film. This was because previous films featuring female characters in superhero roles hadn’t fared well, whether it was Pamela Anderson playing Barb Wire in 1996, Halle Berry as Catwoman, or Jennifer Garner as Elektra. All these films were rejected by the audience, leading people to believe that a solo film for a female character was a risky venture for business, though this belief was entirely incorrect. The audience didn’t connect with the stories of these films.…
Shukraal is the superhero of the past, and why? Because Shukraal has not just taken one birth but multiple, and in each birth, he was a warrior. The creator of Shukraal comics was Tikaram Sippi, who continued to create the comics until the end. From this, it can be inferred that Shukraal’s story might have originally been a novel, adapted into comics, possibly making it India’s first comic series, known to everyone. Shukraal was published at the same time as the first Doga comics, Kafryu. Shukraal’s story unfolds across approximately 11 comics, with each comic consisting of pages 30 to…
