Indrajal Comics

Indrajal Comics was a comic book series launched by the publisher of The Times of India, Bennet, Coleman & Co in March of 1964.

History

The issues of Indrajal Comics alternated between various King Features Syndicate characters, including "Mandrake the Magician", "The Phantom", "Flash Gordon", and "Buz Sawyer". Later it also published "Bahadur", an Indian comic hero created by Aabid Surti.

A total of 803 issues of Indrajal Comics were published, ceasing in April of 1990. #123 and 124 were never published due to an industrial strike.

The Indrajal books often contain colorized versions of Mandrake stories, edited with expanded, reduced or omitted panels, to fit the format of the comic book. The stories were mostly daily and Sunday stories, with a few King Comics stories.

Language versions

From the first issue in 1964, Indrajal Comics was available in several language editions. English and Hindi seems to have been the main editions, that were published weekly during the entire run of the series. Other editions were added in later years, and were sometimes released with a different periodicity than the main editions. Each language edition had a different registration number with the Registrar of Newspapers for India
