Diamond comics is a comic book publisher from India specializing in publishing desi comics if you will. Their main focus was on the Hindi editions but they also published most of their comics in English often laced with disastrous use of the language. Most of the books can be used effectively in English classes an classic examples of how NOT to use vocabulary and grammar. But in any case these book had their own cult following, myself inlcuded.
Who can forget characters like:
chacha chowdhary
Fauladi singh
Mahabali Shaka
Agniputra Abhay
Tauji
Chacha Bhatija
and many more.
In my younger days I used buy these books or borrow them from libraries and finally ended up subscribing to them( a short lived experience as my parents cancelled the subscrption after a few months due to the quality of these books).
Soon, afterward the availability of these books became scarce. They were being made in Delhi and probably winded up their distributions down south.
In any case, I haven’t lost interest in them and hopefully someday I will get back to reading the latest editions of these comics.
Here is their website for more information:
You can even read some of their latest comics for free online. The English, art work and stories have improved quite a bit in recent years.
Coming soon: Scanned comic books from 10-15 years ago. These are hard to find books and you will get to read them right here in this blog!!! So stay tuned.
