Akbar Birbal

 

This lovely duo from the royal era has everyone thinking along with them while reading their stories. Birbal’s knack to outsmart the other ministers in the court of Akbar made each kid giggle with joy. What made these stories successful is the way how Birbal offered simple and witty solutions to twisted problems. Further, the addition of folk tales made the stories of Akbar-Birbal a must-read for all.

Remember those days when we really believed that a volcano exploded on Jupiter when Sabu got angry or Chacha Chaudhary really lived somewhere in India with his mind working faster than the computer? Not to forget the other characters like Billoo, Pinki and so on that were made legendary by Pran. Tinkle’s characters such as Shikari Shambhu and Suppandi are still remembered for invoking great memories in the kids of 80s and 90s.

While most of us grew up with the likes of Archie and Jughead Jones, Tin Tin, Asterix and Obelix, the Indian comics also had its share of readership as they humorously portrayed the general issues of the middle class in India.

Here’s Indian comics which became our best buddies, giving us a great joy while reading them.
