As soon as Bahadur spots him, he quickly salutes.Khadaksingh…

“Tilism Dev,” a fantastic story from Raj Comics, blends ancient (mythological) tales with fantasy to deliver an exciting narrative. Priced at just 6 rupees, this comic, issue number 253, is part of the “Tilism Dev Series.” Written by Tarun Kumar Wahi, illustrated brilliantly by Kadam Studio, and edited by Manishchandra Gupta, it brings back the classic, powerful style of Raj Comics. The story begins in Shatulya Nagari, where King Shatulya Dev is performing intense penance to Lord Vishnu, yearning for a child. He continuously chants, “Om Vishnu… Om Vishnu…” Pleased with his devotion, Lord Vishnu appears and says, “Ask for…

“Dear students, it’s because of these small mistakes that criminals like you get defeated in front of the protectors of law. And do you know why these mistakes happen? Because of the lack of crime education. 90 percent of criminals don’t even know how to commit a crime properly or how to escape afterward. They don’t even know the ABCs of crime. That’s why I have opened this Crime College — to give such people the knowledge of crime and turn them into successful criminals. I, the Principal of Crime College, welcome every person who comes here for crime education.”…

Parmanu is the eye of Delhi who is always engaged in finding and eliminating every threat. Sometimes as Inspector Vinay and sometimes as Parmanu. But even then some daring criminals dare to commit crime and then begins the war between Parmanu and them. Small criminals may stop their activities but there are some super villains who neither sit in peace nor let the people of Delhi sit in peace. They get beaten up by Parmanu and go to jail again and again but then escape from there and start committing crime. We are going to tell about some such stubborn…

When you think about superhero friends, who comes to your mind first? Nagraj’s friend Nagu? Or Super Commando Dhruva’s friend Dhananjay? Or perhaps Doga’s friend Cheetah, Parmanu’s Probot, or Angara’s friend Sajuki? Everyone knows about these friendships, and there’s one thing common among them — they are all male duos. This makes sense because most comic book superheroes are male, and it wasn’t surprising at all, especially during the 1980s and 1990s when the common belief was that only men could be superheroes. That’s why female friendships were rarely portrayed. And even when women were included, their relationships were usually…

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…

Suryaputra – The tale of a superhero born to vanquish tyranny and oppressors. His origin story intertwines the bodies of Chandragupta and the soul of Dharmadev, unfolding in the pages of Suryaputra comics published by Pawan Comics. The narrative begins in the princely state of Bharatpur, where Chandrasekhar ruled, and takes us through the trials and triumphs of his son Chandrakar, who later becomes the extraordinary Suryaputra. Chandrakar’s life takes a tragic turn as he loses his family, compelling him to embark on a mission to bring the dead back to life. Guided by the sage Dharmadev, he undergoes intense…

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…

In the vibrant world of Manoj Comics, Havaldar Bahadur emerges as a comical yet surprisingly effective police constable. Despite his foolish and cowardly demeanor, Bahadur’s escapades lead to successful encounters with thieves and criminals, making him an unconventional yet beloved comedic character. Bahadur’s character is distinctive, featuring a wiry physique, a thin mustache, and a long sword. His adventures involve a robust and assertive wife, Champakali, and a simple-minded yet strong nephew, Tund. The comics are laced with amusing titles, risqué dialogues, and a perpetually cheerful disposition that keeps readers entertained until the very end. Debuting with the comic titled…

Nagraj has numerous enemies, but he also has friends. In his quest to save humanity, he has made countless enemies, but he has also earned several friends. One such friend and ally is Bharati, the daughter of Guru Vedacharya and the granddaughter of his son Shiladitya. Vedacharya bestowed upon Bharati the knowledge of tantra and tilism, similar to what he taught Nagraj. Bharati has assisted Nagraj multiple times, often in an invisible form known as Facesless. This form, created by the mystical clothing made through various tantra mantras, allows Bharati to remain hidden and aid Nagraj in secret. Bharati is…

If King Comics were to be asked about among today’s comic fans, they might not be able to answer, but for the readers of the 90s, this name was familiar. King Comics, which came swiftly and started publishing 6 comics every month, made readers happy, but comic reviewers soon realized that its end was imminent. Because its biggest loss was on the quality of comics. While King Comics was a part of Raj Comics’ sub-division, no one knew why there was a need to open a separate comic company for popular Indian superheroes like Nagraj, Super Commando Dhruv, Doga, Parmanu,…

When comics and cartoons from foreign countries had already moved beyond, creating films based on comic book superheroes, at that time in India, comics were like a little child, learning to walk and stumbling. Diamond Comics had arrived on the scene, and characters like Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu had made their place in everyone’s minds. However, only a few categories of readers were engaged, while the rest were still waiting. It was then that Raj Comics brought Nagraj in front of the readers, and suddenly, the world of Indian comics changed. Everyone began striving to outdo each other, and some…

The reason, meaning the cause, is always behind everything. In the Ramayana, when Kaikeyi sent Ram into exile due to Manthara’s instigation, it led to the destruction of Ravana. Similarly, in the Mahabharata, when Urvashi cursed Arjuna, he faced identity issues because of that curse. Perhaps even the birth of Prachanda was for a reason. When the terror of demons increased on Earth, making it difficult for kings to protect their kingdoms, the sage Shapadeyu’s curse became the solution. Shapadeyu would come out of his cave once a year and, to test the power of his penance, he would curse…

Yogiraj is a master of the art of yoga. In Yogiraj, the task at hand is to train young recruits for a unique battalion dedicated to yoga in the Indian Army. Trikal, his favorite disciple, is deeply devoted to him. However, this story is not about Trikal. It is about a young man who appears in Yogiraj’s dreams every night, touching his feet, yet despite possessing miraculous powers, Yogiraj is unable to do anything. One day, when thugs attempt to eliminate Yogiraj, he reveals his ultimate destructive weapon before they can harm him. However, before Yogiraj can unleash his devastating…

Professor Nagmani’s full name is Professor Kautilya Nagmani. He claims to be the creator of Nagraj, the only one in the world who can bring an end to Nagraj. Nagmani’s assertion cannot be entirely dismissed because he was the one who hid Nagraj from the world, raising him for his own gains, albeit emphasizing Nagraj’s education and combat skills. In a way, he nurtured him like a son. Nagmani encountered Nagraj in his infancy while wandering in the jungle in search of venom from extraordinary serpent species. He heard a child’s cry in a deserted temple and realized that an…

The ruthless terrorist supreme commander of Afghanistan, in a bid for power, puts his grandfather, Aburrahman, behind bars and assumes control as the supreme leader of the entire country. His main source of income was supplying opium and aiding terrorists worldwide. Vice Supreme Wazib Khan, wanting to break free from the terrorist web, falls victim to a deadly attack by a Kyrgyzstan spy. Badly wounded, he witnesses the downfall of his empire, prompting him to search for his successor. However, he faces disappointment as many villains, such as Kala Paheliya, Principal, Mister Rasayan, Wonder Woman, Mechanic, Doga, Parmanu, Tiranga, Shakti,…

They say that those who are short have to face people’s jokes since childhood. As age progresses, sympathy turns into mockery, and this mockery, along with strange looks, creates a sense of inferiority in some people’s minds. To the extent that even their parents feel that they can’t do anything now. The world has stereotyped short individuals to a single place, the circus, where they used to entertain people as clowns. Even in movies, they were often cast for comic relief. However, in recent years, important and sensitive stories for short individuals have started to be written in films. But…

Nag Tantra Nagina, the chief enemy of Nagraj, is included in the list of Nagraj’s main adversaries. The first encounter between Nagraj and Nagina was depicted in the Jal Comics series where Mahatma Kaladoot revealed the history of Nagraj and Nagina, including the establishment of Nagdweep. When Kaladoot arrived at the island, there were three hostile tribes ruling the region. The first was the Bichhu Dhaade, an extremely dangerous and aggressive tribe. The second was the Makadi Khatu, known for their venomous nature. The last tribe was Kekda Kant, residing on the seashore and constantly at war with the other…

When the Hollywood film “RoboCop” was released, it inspired the creation of many comic book characters with similar themes around the world. Various countries gave it different names and made several changes, presenting it as a comic book superhero to their readers. In India, an attempt was made in the form of Raj Comics’ “Inspector Steel,” which had a distinct appearance but a similar storyline that many readers believed was borrowed from “RoboCop.” However, before Steel, another superhero had already emerged, named “Jambu,” credited to the founder of Tulsi Comics and renowned Hindi novel writer, the late Ved Prakash Sharma.…

Nagpasha, the twin brother of King Takshakraj, ruled the city of Takshak Nagar. His singular dream was to become the king of Takshak Nagar, and he was content knowing that he would soon ascend the throne. This was because his elder brother, Takshakraj, had no heir. Nagpasha always indulged in luxury, while King Takshakraj was a noble ruler, deeply concerned with the welfare of his subjects. As the ancestors of the king were worshippers of snakes, they held great reverence for them. Due to the serpent’s grace, Takshak Raj possessed an unimaginable treasure, guarded by the serpent deity Kaljayi. The…

Mahabali Shera – Presented to readers by Manoj Comics in the 1990s. However, as mentioned earlier, in an attempt to surpass each other, Indian comic creators either neglected the quality of comics or started imitating foreign comic characters. That’s why Mahabali Shera is also mentioned in the list. Mahabali Shera spent his childhood in the jungles of Sona. Lions, elephants, chimpanzees, and other fierce animals were his childhood friends. Shera was the only son of Tumba, the leader of the tribe. Tumba was a good leader of the tribe, always thinking about making his tribe prosperous. One day, some foreigners…

Jen – a crucial character in the Wolf Comics, isn’t in love with Kobi the Wolf. Instead, she values her friendship with Kobi because everyone in the jungle knows that Jen is the only one who can face formidable creatures like Kobi, understand him, and even make Kobi listen to her. However, Jen didn’t first meet Kobi and the wolves; her encounter was with the wolves when she was not one but two beings. To learn more about the animals and the Wolf Comics, you’ll have to read about animals, Kobi, and the wolves. Jen was trying to catch her…

Dev is a notorious criminal who has escaped from jail by breaking it, and the police force is issuing a warning to apprehend him. While fleeing through the jungle, Dev is captured by soldiers who mistake him for a ghostly prince named Rajkumar Baaz. They take him to their world, where Dev discovers a resemblance between him and Rajkumar Baaz. The gurus in that realm provide him with the miraculous attire of Baaz, initiating his training. Rajkumar Baaz, having left the mystical world, is now living among humans, leaving Dev in charge. In this new world, Dev continues his training,…

For those who have read Bhokal comics, they will find similarities in the early comics of Ashwaraj. In the first comic of Ashwaraj, a marathon chariot race is organized by the king Chintitsingh of Chintapokhli Nagar, much like the competition in the first Bhokal comic. However, since both characters belong to Raj Comics, there is not much significant difference in the stories. The story of Ashwaraj begins with the chariot marathon organized by King Chintitsingh of Chintapokhli Nagar. However, the tale of Ashwaraj’s previous life’s fragment is narrated in the story “Phir Aaya Ashwaraj.” The narrative runs in parallel with…

The first entry of the Bhokal series in the horror comic is a chilling tale. It begins with the rebellious Mahabali Fuchang of the Osaka planet, who assassinates King Garboch of Osaka and, in alliance with the mysterious spies of Osaka residing on Earth, sacrifices Princess Sophia. He then creates numerous talismans from her blood to gain access to the mystical Olympak. Subsequently, he orchestrates the murder of the spies in a terrifying game. The game takes place in Vikasnagar, where Bhokal, Turin, Atikrur, and Shootan confront various challenges to reach Tilsim. In the same Tilsim, they reveal the reasons…

The brutal realm of Khunkhara, inhabited by half-beast and half-demon creatures, was merciless and ruthless. Playing with humans, they would strike them down and feast on their flesh. Khunkhara ruled this land, consuming human blood like water and demolishing mountains and palaces with its powerful horns. When another demon kingdom, Vajra, led by King Vajra, challenged Khunkhara, the royal guru of Khunkhara suggested seeking a great power to defend their kingdom. Despite warnings, Khunkhara sought the aid of Mahan Mankar, the deity of demons, asking for immense power. However, the deity cautioned Khunkhara about the consequences of misuse, but driven…

Vedacharya – the astrologer of King Takshakaraj and the father of Nagraj. He played a crucial role in unraveling the mystery of Nagraj’s birth. Vedacharya is the only one alive in Takshak Nagar after Nagpasha. When King Takshakaraj learned from his family deity Kaljayi that his child is not dead but alive, who later becomes Nagaraj, he summoned Raj Jyotishi Vedacharya to create a talisman (tilism) for the protection of a treasure. This talisman was designed in such a way that only his son could break it. Vedacharya, despite being blind, possesses the ability to gain knowledge about any being…

Ajgar, featured in Manoj Comics, is a unique superhero. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that among all superheroes, Ajgar has the longest lifespan. The comic series featuring Ajgar initially included characters like Mahabali Shera and Kala Pret. In the ‘Ajgar the Great’ comics, Ajgar is portrayed as a negative character or perhaps a character compelled by circumstances. In this narrative, Ajgar is a servant of a mystical crown, and whoever wears it must obey his commands, leading to destructive actions. Ajgar’s story begins a thousand years ago when his original name was Tripund. Vikraal, the king of the serpent…

Just like Bhokal, Turin also makes a terrifying entry in the most dangerous game, and that too with a specific purpose, much like Bhokal, Shutaan, and Atikrur. We learn about this in the Tilism Toot Gaya comic, where the amazing beings whom Fuchang had defeated in the terrifying game were alive. They revealed that when Fuchang murdered King Garboch of the Osaka planet and became the ruler, he sent spies everywhere to find Princess Sophia and Queen Russia, but they couldn’t locate them. When Princess Sophia found refuge in a secret place under the protection of Queen Russia, the Queen…

Stories often emerge from stories, be it in movies, novels, or comics. In a similar fashion, the tale of Mr. India originated from one of Tausi’s stories. It seems that the character drew inspiration from the six powers within Tausi – Grabdhvaj, Tridhvaj, Adrishyadhvaj, Chumbakdhvaj, Panidhvaj, and Ashtadhvaj. Maybe this inspiration led to the creation of Mr. India. I say “maybe” because I cannot say with absolute certainty. Mr. India is not the name of an individual but a group of five entities. Before becoming Mr. India, the person was known as Indrajit. Indrajit was a brave pilot in the…

Gamaraj, whose name itself carries a sense of sorrow, was first introduced to the audience through King Comics. In the initial storyline, Gamaraj is portrayed as an orphan, haunted by grief, who has attempted suicide multiple times. In a twist of fate, he encounters Shankalu, a perpetual skeptic, who mistakenly gives him a medicine meant to kill bedbugs instead of herbal medicine. This causes Gamaraj to faint, leading Shankalu to believe he is dead. Seizing the opportunity, Shankalu flees the scene. However, unwittingly, he becomes instrumental in helping Gamaraj, and the story unfolds with unexpected turns. The narrative takes a…

In the serpent kingdom, the unique beauty ‘Apsara,’ a serpent, and the brave disciple of Nag Baba, Taushi, shared an intense love. However, Prince Jabbar, the proud son of King Sheshnag, was consumed with jealousy for Taushi and desired Apsara at any cost. During the annual competitions on Nag Panchami in Serpent City, Jabbar, in his unsuccessful attempt to humiliate Taushi, ended up imprisoning his own father, King Sheshnag. To rescue Apsara from Jabbar’s captivity, Taushi stood atop the volcano and fervently worshipped Lord Shiva. Pleased with his devotion, Lord Shiva granted him the boon of shape-shifting and bestowed upon…

Thodanga – The Fearless Emperor of the Jungles of Tanzania. He is considered the bravest ruler of the jungle, referred to as the most cruel and violent animal. He cuts elephants as easily as people slaughter sheep and goats. Thodanga needs to eat the flesh of an elephant every day, so no living elephant is found in Thodanga’s valley. Thodanga was first introduced in Nagaraj’s comic ‘Taj Mahal Ki Chori’ but was portrayed as a common killer. Later, in ‘Nagaraj Aur Kabuki Ka Khazana,’ some scenes provide information about him, as Kabuki is searching for the treasure. Kabuki refers to…

In the village of Rampur, Nanaku and his wife Gulabvati lived. Nanaku earned a living by working in others’ fields and managing with whatever little he could find. His wife, Gulabvati, was a devout follower of Lord Shiva. Bakelal’s birth was blessed by Lord Shiva’s grace. However, due to one mischievous act, Shiva cursed him to always engage in mischievous behavior. Despite Gulabvati’s plea, Shiva declared that while his curse couldn’t be lifted, Bakelal would gain fame, wealth, and success through his mischievous acts, leading to a fulfilling life. As Bakelal grew older, his mischievous deeds increased, and once, by…

The reason behind Nagraj being known as ‘Kaljayi’ or Dev Kaljayi’ is because the powers he possesses are attributed to Kaljayi, the ancestral deity of the Nagraj lineage. Nagraj’s father, Takshakraj, and their ancestors had been worshiping serpents for centuries, and it was through the grace of the serpent deity Kaljayi that they obtained an unimaginable treasure. The protector of this treasure and the ancestral deity was the serpent goddess Kaljayi. While Takshakraj had everything, he lacked an heir. However, his queen Lalita remained steadfast in her devotion to Dev Kaljayi. Pleased with her continuous worship over twenty years, Dev…

Often, whenever we see a superhero beating up a villain in comics, it brings us joy. And if the villain is a tough opponent, the fun doubles because defeating a powerful enemy requires the hero to put in even more effort and use their intellect. However, when this scenario repeats too frequently, readers start feeling deceived, finding comics boring and tasteless. The author also realized this soon enough and did something that we might be familiar with in movies but was happening for the first time in Indian comics – pitting two superheroes against each other. Although it’s challenging to…

Vishandhar, the ruler of Nagdweep, is a tantric king who aspires to become the king of Nagdweep himself. He continuously makes efforts to achieve this goal, but every time, he is defeated by the hands of the Snake King and has to flee. In reality, the king of Nagdweep, Maniraj, had no offspring, and Vishandhar believed that if Maniraj had no heir, he would become the next king of Nagdweep. However, his plan took a turn when the Snake King reached Nagdweep, but in the form of a child. One day, Dev Kalajayi revealed to Maniraj in a dream that…

Vega – created by King Comics. However, it was Gosha who was behind creating Vega in the comics. Gosha, Megha, and Vega were three brothers. Among them, Gosha was a scientist who was moved by the innocent people murdered by criminals and wanted to create a weapon that would protect common people and make criminals fear. He soon succeeded, creating a suit and even prepared for a test, but he needed a human for the experiment, and perhaps his life could be at risk during the test, which no one would want. Gosha’s dilemma was resolved by his middle brother,…

Doctor Kunal had a special love for animals. His dream was to create a unique country for animals, where different species could live peacefully, away from the threats of the world. On Angara Island, Dr. Kunal used his surgical skills to teach animals to communicate. He instilled values of unity, brotherhood, and civilization, establishing Angara as a nation for animals. However, the American forces attacked Angara to set up their military base. Only six animals managed to escape the island with Kunal. Dr. Kunal performed a groundbreaking operation, combining the eyes of an eagle, the cunning mind of a fox,…

Dhananjay resides in Swarnanagari and is also its chief leader. Swarnanagari’s inhabitants have managed to stay hidden from human eyes beneath the sea for thousands of years. Initially, they coexisted with humans and fought against evil. Their ancestors even participated in the Mahabharata war. However, when their city submerged in the sea, they rebuilt it and continued to reside there. Their knowledge of science and wisdom existed thousands of years ago, and they have progressed further. However, they never shared their knowledge with humans because they feared it would be misused for warfare. Hence, they always remained hidden. Grand Master…

Tiranga – The superhero character created by Hanif Azhar for Raj Comics. However, as soon as it was introduced, many compared it to ‘Captain America’ just because of the costume and shield. Apart from that, there is no similarity between them. Tiranga has not been frozen in ice for 75 years, nor has anyone experimented on him. The characters are quite different. If we look at Tiranga’s story, it is unique; he does not kill villains like Doga, nor has he taken an oath like Dhruva that he will never commit murder. We have seen this in the Kargil comics…

Doga, a towering building named after the four minarets, one of which is a minaret, a martial arts prodigy, Uncle Haldi, also known as Halim Gandhi, who came to Mumbai with his brothers Adrak, Dhaniya, and Kali. When he arrived, there was a rage within him against the terrorists who did not hesitate to spill each other’s blood in the name of religion. The fire inside him wanted to come out, to rise and eradicate these perpetrators of evil, no matter the cost. He would have done so if he hadn’t remembered the lesson of self-discipline he learned during martial…

Miss Hiroshima, also known as Miss Killer, whose high-tech abilities make her not only Japan’s leading criminal but also the preferred choice for many notorious criminals worldwide. Miss Killer provides them with any weapons they desire. She was first involved in the theft of Nagaraj and the Taj Mahal’s jewels, orchestrated by the evil Shakura, bringing together criminals from around the world. Although Miss Killer’s character wasn’t prominently featured, the comics are unique as they showcase all the main villains together, and Nagaraj encounters them in his journey. In the comics, Nagaraj confronts Miss Killer for the first time in…

Ichchhadhari is a power that can turn anything into reality with a mere desire. The possessor of such power is Nagraj, although he can still transform his body into atomic particles. The power he originally possessed, stolen from him, was never returned. How Nagraj regained this power remains a mystery. It all began with the Ichchhadhari Nagraj comics, where Professor Nagamani imprisoned him in a box. Seeking help from Baba Gorakhnath, Nagraj discovered the Ichchhadhari power within him, allowing him to take any form. For the first time, he transformed into a snake, escaping the box. In subsequent comics, he…

The story begins with individuals on Earth who have measured the heights of space, yet remain oblivious to the depths of the ocean. In the realms where love and hatred coexist among dwelling communities, power struggles become sinister plots. Throughout history, every time evil has emerged, a savior, a Messiah, has also been born to eradicate it. And there is one superhero who belongs neither to the Earth nor the sky, but to the ocean—his name is Shark. The tale of Shark’s birth unfolds on a ship where Pratap, returning to India with his pregnant wife Manasi, encounters violence related…

Bheriya is an imaginary character, an Indian comic book superhero published by Raj Comics. Dheeraj Verma created Bheriya in December 1993, and in 1997, India’s first digitally colored comic book, Kobi aur Bheriya, was published by Raj Comics. More than fifty thousand years ago, there was a kingdom named Wolfano, where an advanced breed of wolves lived. They were powerful warriors and moved with great agility. The king of Wolfano, Wolf, was a wolf who liked a human girl, Princess Surviya, from the neighboring human kingdom Konkani. Despite tricking the girl into marriage, Wolf and Surviya eventually separated, and she…

In the thriving era of Indian comics in the 80s, there was a noticeable strain in the relationship between India and America. This tension found its expression in various comics, be it Manoj Comics, Pawan Comics, Nootan, or Tulsi Comics. Notably, Tulsi Comics took the lead in depicting American conspiracies, featuring superheroes like Angara, Jambu, and Yoga, focusing on American machinations. One such character in Tulsi Comics was Yosho, often referred to as the “Son of Fire.” Yosho’s origin is unique—he hails not from Earth but from Suryagrah, with half of his essence belonging to our planet. His father, Yodharaj,…

Marvel and DC Comics, two of the most renowned names in comic book publishing, are perhaps the largest publishers as well. The debate over which is better has been a fascinating topic among comic book enthusiasts. Often, DC Comics and its characters are perceived as dark, serious, and brooding. The most famous example of this is Batman, known for operating in the shadows and dealing with grim circumstances. In contrast, Marvel is seen as lighter, focusing more on entertainment, and being more centered on characters like Deadpool. Marvel and DC Comics are among the biggest publications in the world of…

The genre referred to as “pulp fiction” in English is known as “लुगदी साहित्य” or “घासलेटी” in Hindi. Despite its popularity, lugdi katha, as opposed to English popular fiction, developed with the support of three good friends—the film industry, the railway, and the readership—all of which have either disappeared or are on the brink of losing. In the 1990s, when Hindi pulp fiction was booming, its popularity witnessed an unprecedented growth. Just a little over two decades later, its world began to crumble, and on February 17, 2017, another blow struck with the demise of one of its most successful…

Super Commando Dhruv is one of the most recognized and established superheroes in the world of Indian comic books. Over the years, he has fought not only ordinary humans but also villains, supervillains, comedic antagonists, tricksters, as well as creatures like demons and deities.

There is a saying that if you’re infamous, what’s in a name? A similar situation occurred with Radha Comics when the Indian comic industry was trying to establish itself, and some publishers were copying characters by changing their names. At that time, copyright was not a significant concern. Interestingly, this trend continues even today, but people are now more serious about it. If such practices were followed back then, characters like Chacha Chaudhary, created by Pran, wouldn’t have faced so many imitations. Everyone maintained the same appearance, just changing the name from Kaka to Tau at times. A similar incident…

400 Years Ago: The Beginnings of The Phantom’s Legacy – Four centuries ago, the marauding pirates of the Singha Sea set fire to a ship in the Indian Ocean, leaving all passengers dead.

The tradition of Betals began with him, as he vowed to eradicate injustice and malice wherever it existed, carrying the weapon that had slain his father. The unique markings of Phantom add to his mystique.…

A few days ago, a picture went viral on social media, which is a photograph of Shahrukh Khan’s private office. Although it is a picture of an office, there was a surprising element in the form of an image placed there – it was the image of the character “Bahadur” from Indrajal comics.

In 1967, while watching a TV quiz show on the government-owned Doordarshan network, a young journalist realized that Indian children could easily answer questions about Greek mythological tales but struggled when asked about a significant Indian epic, the Ramayana.

This young journalist was Anant Pai, born on September 17, 1929, in Karkala, Karnataka. Unfortunately, his parents passed away when he was just two years old. At the age of 12, his grandfather sent…

In the dynamic universe of comics, sidekicks emerge as unsung heroes, the steadfast companions who stand by the protagonist’s side in times of peril. This phenomenon, rare in the real world, finds its haven in the vibrant realm of comic books. Referred to as sidekicks, these allies play crucial roles in the narratives of beloved superheroes.

In the 1990s, after witnessing a thriving market for comics, several comic companies entered the market. Some conducted research on comic subjects, while others jumped into the comic-making fray without much preparation, using it as an easy way to make money. Some companies even copied foreign superheroes, giving them Indian names like Baj, Rudraal, and Shaktiputra. They not only copied the heroes but also replicated their villains.

In the year 2000, a Hollywood film arrived featuring a renowned dialogue that said, ‘A hero is incomplete without a villain.’ It was a small but intriguing statement that captured everyone’s attention. The effectiveness of a villain can be measured through two aspects: one, their popularity among comic book fans, and two, the significance of their existence in relation to the hero, standing against them. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that a hero is only as good as their villain. In the realm of Kalpahelia-Raj comics, there is one of the most charismatic villains. He doesn’t wear a mask,…

The Spiderman movie has a famous line, “great power comes with great responsibility.” This means that having significant power also brings a significant responsibility.

Whether it’s Raj Comics’ super commando Dhruv, Doga, or Radha Comics’ Mahakal, DC Comics’ Batman, or Marvel Comics’ The Punisher and Daredevil. One such character is Sikandar, created by Manoj Comics. Sikandar, a regular boy from Jamnagar, whose father was a…

Nastredamus, but before I proceed, let me clarify that we’re not talking about the Nostradamus who passed away centuries ago and wrote the prophetic book ‘Les Prophéties.’ We’re referring to a different Nastredamus who turned his gems into weapons, creating superheroes like Dhruv and compelling them to kneel.

This has become quite common in the world of comics, and the debate between DC Comics and Marvel Comics on characters imitating each other has always been ongoing. This issue has been persistently raised between them, with characters copying each other, and this trend has been…
