Best Comics Publisher in India - Top 10 Indian Comic Book Publishers

The Indian comic is quite new and still somewhat diversified. Since the late 1960s, it has developed with adaptations of the Ramayana and the Mahābhārata, educational comics for children, comic strips and press cartoons, and finally adaptations of American superheroes. Despite the circulation of 100 million copies annually, comics in India are still largely dominated by American comics and local productions remain marginal.

The first Indian comic book author is Pran Kumar Sharma. In the early 1960s, in the newspaper Milap to Delhi he published the first Indian strip: Daabu. But this first experience was to remain unique in India in the 1960s, Indian newspapers publishing exclusively American and European strips in their pages.
