I’m currently visiting India and was looking forward to find some comics but l did not expect to find them in ElephantaI Island but l did!

It just happened that l noticed a small stool in the market area that had some comics! I browsed the covers and checked quickly the interior of one of them and saw that they were based on Indian mythology!

l decided to buy a couple on my way back, l didn’t want to risk having them snatched by a monkey while visiting the caves. So on my return l chose two “Tales of Shiva” & “Hanuman” l asked the guy who was selling them what he knew of these comics and he replied that they are very old comics, and yes he read comics too.

From a quick check l did later on the ferry the comics that l had chosen were actually reprints which were original published in 1967 and 1971, they are written in English and they have lovely art and published by Amar Chitra Katha.

They reminded me of the “Classic Illustrated” comic series l had read in Greece!

More info when l have read both of them
