I had planned to break this post up in two or three parts and write a bit about some of the comics, but lost the work in progress to net crash earlier today. So we're just going to do a big cover gallery right now, with almost no comments. But don't worry, we'll come back and look inside some of these later.
Excluding a couple short comedy comics, we've never looked at the comics of India here. Since i've been having those connectivity problems, i indulged in some offline work pulling covers from about 100 Indian comics, some English and some Hindi. About 50 of those are here today, spanning about three decades.
This first cover features Sinbad (and the Roc, of course) -
I don't seem to have included any of the reprint comics featuring The Phantom, Flash Gordon, and Mandrake. (Ever wonder why those guys were chosen to be Defenders Of The Earth? Maybe it was because they were all globally popular characters?) Nor any of the old Bruce Lee comics. Another reason to come back and visit with some of these books.
But for now, let's cross our extraneous digits and attempt to post this into the queue...
covers, or so many covers...
