Raj Comics is a line of Indian comic books published through Raja Pocket Books, launched in 1986 by Rajkumar Gupta. Some of its most well known characters include Nagraj, Super Commando Dhruva, Bhokal, Doga, Parmanu, Shakti, Inspector Steel, Tiranga, Kobi/Bheriya, and Anthony. Raj Comics is credited as being one of the leading comic book distributors in India.
The company mainly publishes four types of comics: medieval fantasies, horror, mystery, and Superhero-centric comics, with a predominant focus on superhero content. Their comics are usually published in the Hindi language, with only a few titles and special editions in English. It has produced close to 35,000 comics to date and has been read by people in India and abroad. Raj Comics also publishes stories that do not focus on superhero characters in genres and topics such as mystery, Fantasy, and knight tales. The company also publishes an online exclusive web series named Raj Rojana, with a new page uploaded every day.
Raj Comics publishes in multiple formats, which include e-book, print, and motion comics. The company also sells hardcovers of their old and new comics, as well as bundled collections of their characters. A film based upon the character Doga is currently in planning as of 2014.
In 2008 Raj Comics was the focus of a research project conducted through The Sarai Programme at CSDS's Sarai Media Lab. The resulting research was published as a free PDF via the Sarai website.
King Comics was a line of comics published through Raja Pocket Books. While the division was initially successful, its popularity declined and the line went defunct after only about 2-5 years of activity. It was intended that many of King Comic's characters would be merged into Raj Comics, but only a few characters such as Gamraj were merged. During its run the division published six monthly comics.
Jubilee And Kalpana-lok awards
In 2010 Raj Comics celebrated its Silver Jubilee by launching the Kalpana-lok Awards. Participants are nominated by editors at Raj Comics and can be voted on by readers and fans on the Raj Comics website.
