मार्वल कॉमिक्स… अरे वाह, मार्वल कॉमिक्स! सुपरहीरो और कॉमिक्स की दुनिया का बादशाह। इतनी पुरानी कंपनी है कि शायद आपके दादा-परदादा ने भी इसे पढ़ा होगा (अगर वो कॉमिक्स पढ़ने वाले टाइप थे तो)। 1939 में इसका नाम टाइमली कॉमिक्स था, और तभी से इसने धूम मचाना शुरू कर दिया था। गोल्डन एज में तो भाईसाहब, इसकी पॉपुलैरिटी आसमान छू रही थी। फिर आया सिल्वर एज, और उस वक्त तो ऐसा लगा मानो मार्वल की किस्मत ही खुल गई हो। इसी दौर में हमें मिले स्पाइडर-मैन जैसा मकड़ी-मानव, आयरन मैन जैसा उड़ने वाला अमीर, थॉर जैसा हथौड़ा फेंकने वाला देवता…
Marvel Comics… Oh wow, Marvel Comics! The king of the world of superheroes and comics. It is such an old company that perhaps your grandparents might have also read it (if they were the type who read comics). It was called Timely Comics in 1939, and had started making waves ever since. Bhaisaheb, its popularity was skyrocketing in the Golden Age. Then came the Silver Age, and at that time it seemed as if Marvel’s fortunes had opened up. It was during this period that we found Spider-Man-like spider-man, Iron Man-like flying rich, Thor-like hammer-throwing god and mutants with superpowers…

नब्बे का दशक भारतीय कॉमिक्स की दुनिया का सुनहरा समय था। राज कॉमिक्स और डायमंड कॉमिक्स जैसे बड़े पब्लिशरों के बीच, कुछ और प्रकाशक भी अपनी अलग कहानियों और किरदारों से पाठकों के दिलों में जगह बना रहे थे। उन्हीं में से एक था मनोज कॉमिक्स, जिसने ज्यादातर हॉरर, फैंटेसी और सामाजिक-अपराध वाली कहानियों पर ध्यान दिया। ‘आंख से टपका खून’ मनोज कॉमिक्स की ऐसी ही शानदार पेशकश है, जिसमें अपराध, अलौकिक शक्तियां और बदले की आग एक साथ मिलती हैं। नाजरा खान की लिखी और कदम स्टूडियो (विजय कदम, आत्माराम पुंड) की बनाई गई यह कॉमिक्स अपने नाम से…

नब्बे के दशक की भारतीय कॉमिक्स सिर्फ किरदारों की कहानियां नहीं थीं, बल्कि वो हमारे अपने देसी सुपरहीरो की पहचान थीं। जहां पश्चिमी सुपरहीरो अपनी ताकत पाने के लिए साइंटिफिक एक्सपेरिमेंट्स या किसी अलौकिक घटना पर निर्भर रहते थे, वहीं भारत ने बनाया ‘योगा’—एक ऐसा हीरो जिसकी शक्ति आई हमारी सदियों पुरानी विरासत से – योग और आध्यात्म से। आज हम तुलसी कॉमिक्स डाइजेस्ट नंबर 457 में छपी कॉमिक्स ‘योगा’ की डिटेल में चर्चा करेंगे। ये कॉमिक्स सिर्फ एक कहानी नहीं है, बल्कि उस दौर की एक सांस्कृतिक झलक है, जो दिखाती है कि भारतीय लेखक और कलाकार कैसे पश्चिमी…
Indian comics of the nineties were not just about stories and characters – they were the hallmarks of our very own desi superheroes. While Western superheroes often relied on scientific experiments or some supernatural phenomenon to gain their strength, India created ‘Yoga’—a hero whose power came from our age-old heritage: from yoga and spirituality. Today, we’ll discuss in detail the comic ‘Yoga’, published in Tulsi Comics Digest No. 457. This comic is not just a story—it is a cultural glimpse of that era, showing how Indian writers and artists created a completely new kind of hero by blending the concept…

वीडियो गेम्स की फिल्में – बोरिंग धारणाओं से हटकर मज़ेदार हकीकत! वीडियो गेम पर बनी फिल्मों के बारे में एक मशहूर सोच है – ये शुरू से ही बेकार रही हैं। और सिर्फ थोड़ी-बहुत बेकार नहीं, बल्कि इतनी खराब कि लोग इन्हें देखकर कहते हैं – “भाई, इसे डीवीडी पर ही छोड़ देते, क्यों थिएटर तक घसीटा!” अब ये सच तो है कि ज्यादातर फिल्में सच में बहुत अच्छी नहीं होतीं। लेकिन असली मसला ये है कि उनकी बर्बादी ज़्यादातर “क्रिएटिव गड़बड़ी” की वजह से होती है। पुराने गेम्स में भले ही उपन्यास जैसी गहराई न हो (आजकल के गेम्स…
There’s a well-known belief about films based on video games – they’ve been a disaster right from the start. And not just a small disaster, but the kind that makes people say, “Bro, keep this on DVD, why drag it to the theater!” It’s true that most of these movies haven’t been very good. But the real problem lies in the constant “creative clashes.” Old games may not have had the depth of a novel (although today’s games often feel like complete novels), and yes, stories of titles like Super Mario or Street Fighter were pretty light-hearted in the beginning.…

जब भी हम डरावनी फ़िल्मों की बात करते हैं, तो दिमाग़ में तुरंत 80 और 90 के दशक की वो क्लासिक स्लेशर फ़िल्में आ जाती हैं, जहाँ खूनी, भूत और राक्षस बस चीख-चीखकर डराने और भागने का मौका देते हैं। इनमें डर का पूरा मसाला होता है—ज़ोरदार चीख़ें, डरावना म्यूज़िक, और बदला लेने वाली कहानियाँ। लेकिन A Quiet Place ने इन पुराने तरीकों को एकदम पलट दिया। उसने दिखाया कि असली डर उस जगह होता है, जहाँ थोड़ी सी आवाज़ भी आपकी मौत का कारण बन सकती है। सोचिए, एक ऐसी दुनिया जहाँ आप अपनी पेट की आवाज़ तक न…

Some movies may be good for their time, but the ones that have heart-touching or thought-provoking dialogues stay in people’s hearts forever. Marvel’s upcoming movies should always remember that superhero films are not just about action scenes. To make a film successful, a good story and memorable characters are very important.

They can be a character’s catchphrase, an emotional moment, or a powerful statement. Let’s take…

Whenever we talk about scary movies, our minds immediately go back to the classic slashers of the 80s and 90s, where killers, ghosts, and monsters gave us nothing but reasons to scream, run, and hide. Those films had the full recipe for fear—bloodcurdling screams, eerie background music, and revenge-driven plots. But A Quiet Place came in and flipped all those old tricks on their head. It showed us that the deepest fear lies in a world where even the slightest sound can get you killed. Imagine a place where you can’t even let your stomach growl—because if it does, game…
Some people create history, some people write history, and some themselves become history.But there are also some people who first write the history of a living person and then hunt them down to make their own history.

जब भी आप सुपरहीरो के दोस्तों के विषय में सोचते हैं तो सबसे पहले आपके दिमाग में कौन आता है? नागराज का दोस्त नागू, सुपर कमांडो ध्रुव का दोस्त धनंजय, डोगा का दोस्त चीता, परमाणु का प्रोबोट या अंगारा का साथी सजूकी। इनकी दोस्ती के विषय में सभी जानते हैं, लेकिन इनमें एक बात कॉमन है — ये सभी दो पुरुष किरदारों की जोड़ियां हैं। यह बात समझ में आती है क्योंकि ज्यादातर कॉमिक बुक सुपरहीरो पुरुष रहे हैं। इसमें कोई हैरानी वाली बात नहीं थी क्योंकि 80 से 90 के दशक तक लोगों के दिमाग में यही धारणा थी…

In today’s era where superhero stories are often becoming serious and dark, the world of Indian comics in the 80s and 90s was completely different.

This comic, written by Ved Prakash Sharma and illustrated by Bharat Makwana, takes us on an adventure where action, drama, and comedy come together spectacularly. The title itself creates suspense – “Died Jambu”. Has our hero, who is a friend of animals and the nemesis of enemies, really…
Prologue: When Comics Were Our Internet In today’s era, when everyone has a supercomputer, i.e., a smartphone, it’s difficult to even imagine a time when there were only a few means of entertainment. One of those was the magical world of comics. Publishers like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, and Tulsi Comics gave us countless heroes like Nagraj, Super Commando Dhruva, Chacha Chaudhary, and Jumbo, whose adventures we grew up reading. “Jumbo and Tausi” is a rare gem from that golden era. It’s not just a story, but a grand confluence of two different worlds – on one side, the scientific…

During that time, when storytellers like Ved Prakash Sharma stepped into the world of comics, a new era of storytelling and action began. And with him was Bharat Makwana, whose magical brush brought characters to…

But just like every good story has a villain, one arrived here too – Kankalketu. Villain’s Entry – A Walking Skeleton Threat Kankalketu was no ordinary demon. His body was entirely made of bones, and eerie blue flames would continuously emerge from them. His…

So, today we are going to share our scholarly (and slightly humorous) opinion on a comic named ‘Ichchadhari Saanp’. The name itself suggests that there will be snakes, and not just any snakes, but shapeshifting ones! Meaning, they can become a boy, a girl, and maybe sometimes even a pizza delivery boy at will (although nothing like this is shown in the comic, but what’s the harm in letting imagination run wild?). Story’s Beginning: Papa’s Snake Knowledge! The comic begins with a conversation between a father and daughter. Daughter Bunti insists on hearing the story of shapeshifting snakes from her…

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

“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.”…

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…

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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…

Nagmani: The Enigmatic Character of Nagraj Comics, Master of Resurrections and Venomous Intrigues
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…

Bauna Jasoos: The Short Detective with Tall Adventures in the Realm of Mystery and Magic
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…

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…
Bhokal: A Riveting Blend of Mythical Powers, Emotional Resonance, and Superior Storytelling
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.

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 Jungle Emperor of Tanzania, Resurrected in ‘Kshatipurti Series’ to Confront Nagaraj Again!
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.

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,…

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.

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.

The tale of Shark’s birth unfolds on a ship where Pratap, returning to India with his pregnant wife Manasi, encounters violence related…

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.

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…

Unveiling the Silent Menace: DhwaniRaj – The Top Villain in Super Commando Dhruv’s Comics
Sound, the essence of voice, shapes our perception of the world. From the uplifting melodies of music to the jarring tones that induce headaches, sound holds a dual nature. Its power can be both a source of joy and a destructive force capable of causing deafness, madness, or even death when amplified. The unique quality of sound lies in its invisibility, making it a potent and often underestimated weapon.

Comic villains have effectively demonstrated that size holds no significance before intelligence
The two most accurate quotes are ‘size doesn’t matter’ and the other is ‘a son’s worth is seen in raising him.’ The whole world is familiar with these, and people have seen examples, both good and bad. Drawing inspiration from this, everyone, from movies to TV serials and from novels to comics, has portrayed it in every form. But the comic world has influenced us the most because they have utilized it in the best way possible, which has become a memory in the minds of every reader. Presenting a list of ten dangerous, quick-witted criminals who almost defeated superheroes…
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. This led to speculations on social media that Shahrukh Khan might be working on a film related to “Bahadur.” In fact, this speculation is quite old, dating back almost a decade when there were rumors that Shahrukh Khan was acquiring the rights to Indrajal comics and considering…
Legendary Anant Pai The Indian Comic Creator, Leaves a Timeless Legacy with Amar Chitra Katha
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. Disheartened by this, he found inspiration and decided to present the stories of India’s greatest epic, the Ramayana, in the form of immortal comic narratives for children. 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. Take, for instance, the world of Super Commando Dhruva, where characters like Black Cat, Natasha, and Chandika, or Doga’s Lomdi and Bhokal’s Shutaan, remain unwaveringly loyal to their respective heroes. Similarly, Nagraj boasts sidekicks such as Saundangi and Nagu, forming an indomitable alliance in…
