Talk:Indian comics

message: The article is deeply flawed.To name "Chacha Chaudhary" as the first Indian comic character is wrong.Even before that,Indrajal Comics,a sub division of Times Of India Publication,which published both the English and Hindi version of characters as "The Phantom aKa Vetal","Mandrake The Magician","Flash Gordon","Garth","Rip Kirby","Tarzan" and an original indian character "Bahadur".While "Diamond comics" had titles like "Fauladi Singh".The "Madhu-Muskan" featured an array of humoruos characters."Lot-Pot",also published by the Madhu Muskan had "Motu , Patlu , Dr. Jhataka ".Abid Surati,the gujarati artist became famous for his comic strip featuring a lawyer as "Dhabbuji".There even was a Hindi adaptation of "MAD magazine" titled "DEEWANA";which had spoofs on Hindi movies, a drunkard called Madhosh.
The recent appearance of characters such as Doga etc. are not purely Indian in the sense that they are copied /lifted from various International comics characters.
I am looking for proof of Indrajal comics's Bahadur and Fauladi Singh.Anyone here got any scans with dates please post it here or on my talk page.--asydwaters 16:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Non-Indian writers work

message: Clean up of the following needed: Yet another contender for the first graphic novel is G. Aravindan's 'Cheriya Manushyarum, Valiya Lokavum' (Small Men and the Big World) that first appeared as a strip in the Malayalam magazine Mathrubhoomi Azhchapathipu, from 1961 to 1973. This was collected in book form first by Bees Books in 1978, and then by DC Books in 1996. 
This paragraph should be deleted, because 'Cheriya Manushyarum, Valiya Lokavum' is a series of short comic strips that appeared every week in a magazine, and was not continuous in its story telling. It never had a beginning, a middle, or an end like usual novels, and as such it is not a novel, even though the 'collection' was published as a book. 
As such, it doesn't come under the Graphic Novel genre.  If this can be included, every comic strip that appeared in Malayalam and came out as a binded book later - Bobanum Moliyum, Kapish, Mandoos etc can also be treated as Graphic Novels. You need to put some boundary between a Graphic Novel and a Comic Strip collection! 
Also, if this is indeed the first Malayalam Graphic Novel, it would make it the very first Graphic Novel in the world. Bloodstar by Richard Corben came out in 1976, while this one came out in 1961!
