The publications of Amar Chitra Katha mostly dealt with the visual storytelling of Indian mythology, folklore, history, fables etc. His devotion and passion for spreading the Indian mythological values earned him the title of Walt Disney of India. Amar Chitra Katha was started by Anant Pai or Uncle Paiwho was the pioneer of Indian Comics. Nothing holds as much respect as Amar Chitra Katha does in the literary space in India.

If we missed out on some, pour in your suggestions and condolences. If you missed out on any of these in your childhood, it may not be too late yet. Therefore, let’s take a trip down the nostalgic era of Indian comics. That library period sandwiched between the Maths and History classes sure eased up some of the pain. Therefore, we had a slew of variety comics to choose from. However, to make up for it we found our own heroes in Nagraj, Dhruv etc. Moreover, the wonderland of comics in India was different than it was in the west. They have been finding admirers beyond the Nerdistan. However, apart from ACTUALLY going out to play in the field, our generation indulged in their favorite past time – COMICS! Of late comic books have grown in popularity thanks to their vivid revivals on the big and small screens. As the survivors of the previous millennium, or to use the apter millennial term born in the 90’s, we really did not have the luxuries of iPads, computers and the internet until the mid-2000s or early 2000s for the affluent few.

We would be lying if we deny the existence of comics in our childhood.
