Can anybody post the latest trend in comics in India.
Around 5-6 years ago Raj comics were very popular in northern India.I read quite a few of them and found them very interesting.The popular characters were Super Commando Dhruv,Nagraj,Doga and Bankelal.The stories were very imaginative and funny with top class picutres .Diamond comics were still there but I guess I had grown too old for those kind of stories.Another thing that used to interest me as a teenager were the detective series of Rajan-Iqbal especially the ones written by S.C. Bedi which came out in pocket size books.Is this guy still writing ?
I always felt that the people working on comics had more creative talent than the people writing stories in Bollywood.I think film industry should use their talent.
A film called Rudraksh released couple of months ago was based on comic like characters.My wife saw it and told me that it stunk big time.
