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. This led to legal disputes, such as the case involving Nagraj, whose copy named Nagesh faced legal action. Comic publishers started strong, but soon realized that Indian children were not interested, and some…

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,…

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.
