Amar Chitra Katha are one of the earliest books I started collecting. Unfortunately, over the years I lost most of them. By the way, just wanted to update you on the change of URL of my blog.

Awesome! The shop from where I used to buy TINKLE in my early teens, now sells MAXIM and Cosmopolitan.

Bahadur and Bela and what's their dog's name? the ghost who walks and the old jungle sayings.... and Mandrake the magician? :) Monk, me to, me too, but AKC was something else... cram, I gave away most of my huge collection in a fit of I dont know what sometime during my terrible adoloscence - kick myself all the time for it... maybe I thought then that they were too kiddy and not for me who was all eager to be grown up.. sigh... Michael, that is just what AKC did for most of us - acted as substitute grandparents and story tellers :) kuffir, have emailed you... Quiizzer, Manikarnika was her name, or Manu (by the way, is this how you get your lazy day kicks - by playing "gotcha" - asking this coz of the way you have stresssed on the "vivid" word in my post - if your memory is that vivid, come on, tell me this :))) dipz, nagraj? have never heard of this one.. bu it sounds really weird. and something a kid would really enjoy:) Puru, somehow Chacha C has always been associated in my mind with the Hindi speaking region - unlike the other comics... mybe the word chacha itself - I never cared for it much myself... "chacha c ka dimmag blah blah" *grin* ok, ok, so I expected this post to be a nostaliga trip for many… Bahadur and Bela and what’s their dog’s name? the ghost who walks and the old jungle sayings…. and Mandrake the magician? :)
