AmarChitra Katha Title List

Indian classic comics, from India Book House (IBH) 1

First in the series 2

During the 1980sand 1990s, while working with the Festival of Asian Artsin

Hong Kong, I went to India a number of times, mainly to see performances.3Astraditional Indian performances are almost always connected to Indian religion,folklore, history, and so forth, while there I bought a number of academic books inorder better to understand these topics. These books were mostly written byIndians and assumed a body of knowledge I did not have so in order not to betotally lost when reading them, I found it useful as well as fun to collect and read

illustrated versions of the stories as told in Amar Chitra Katha comics.4AlthoughACK had begun in 1967 with an unnumbered set of 10 Western fairy tales retold

in Hindi,5from 1969 they almost exclusively told Indian stories and all were

initially published in English.6

Amar ChitraKatha's original numbered series of426 Indian classical comics began in 1969 with #11,

Krishna7it ended in 1991 with #436, Jawaharlal Nehru.8This original series also included three larger

special issues.9In addition,between 1969 to 1991 IBH reprinted many of the early titles individually,10

published atleast 35 "Bumper Issues" (each re-printing three of these titles as one volume11), and at onetime re-printed the earliest issues in "21 deluxe bound volumes, each containing 10 AmarChitra Katha

titles serially from No. 11 to 210" (sic.12). For some reason IBH alsoprinted some of theoriginal issues

under a different label, Chaturang Katha.13They also published somespecialty titles under other labels,such as Amar Charitra Katha.14(Other labels with similar content, such as Adarsh ChitraKatha, seem to

have been unrelated to IBH.15)

From 1991 to 2008 ACK mostly reprinted earlier issues, but these were on better paper and with newnumbers. By 2008 this new series consisted of 244 issues numbering from 501(Krishna) to 744(ChokhaMela). Although these 244 issues were mostly republications of issues from the original series, they also

included five new titles.16During this period they also published a number of special issues, all but one acombination of earlier single issues. Two of these new special issuesare of particular note here: Bhagawat- The Krishna Avata(although it consists ofearlier issues,I ammissing most of the originals) and Ram

Charit Manas17(though sometimesdrawingon earlier versions of thestory, it was completely new).

Meanwhile, in 2007 ACK came under new ownership. By 2009 some media articles were suggesting thatunder its new ownership ACK might soon publish more new issues, for the first time writing about living

people.18Unfortunately, ACK's own online listings are generally only alphabetical rather than numericalor chronological, and the addresses of their listings keep changing, and so it is not always easy to find anupdated listing there. It does seem that through July 2010 they issued only reprints from the original series,

at the same time withdrawing at least one or two.19However, after that, although re-issues remained their

focus, in August 2010 they added the first of a series of new titles.20

2011 update: My own focus in collecting ACK issues has been the original series. In May 2009 I took mylist and updated it, adding new series reprints, as my wife and I prepared to move to India. I put this allonline mainly because the existing online lists were at that time very inadequate, and I hoped this wouldhelp me find my missing issues. At the time there was considerable online confusion about the numbers of

the ACK issues, regarding both combined and single publications.21This was of particular note with

regard to the March to Freedom series.22While living in India I updated the list considerably. Then in2011 we left India, and later that year I was very happy to learn that the Wikipedia list had finally beencorrected and updated (with reference in part to my own online list). As a result in places where the

present web page may not be accurately up to date (particularly on details of publications after 2011) one

can now consult the Wikipedia list.23

Below I list first the 426 titles (subtitles in quotes) of the original Amar Chitra Katha issues, next 8 titlesospecial issues, the 5 new titlesadded between 1998 and 2005, then new series titles that began to come outin 2010 (as of 2014 this list may be out of date). After the footnotes, Appendix Iis a numerical list of thenew series issues, while Appendix IIlists the old series numbers that have not yet been reprinted. As formy personal collection, the missing issues are listed below in Appendix III.

In sum, as of March 2014 ACK had published 452 different single titles plus five special issues with newmaterial. The single titles included the 424 old series + 28 new series titles, i.e., all of the old seriesnumbers (#11 to #434) plus only the new issues within the new series (#501-#814). As for their specialissues, although these have been quite numerous, only five have had new material.

This does not include some other titles also published by India Book House, such as the 10 European fairytales, the 20 Chaturang Kathatitles, and one published under the label Amar Charitra Katha.Return to top

Footnotes(Shorthand references are explained on a separate page)

1.Amar Chitra Katha(Sanskrit: "Immortal Pictorial Classics" "Immortal Illustrated Tales", "ImmortalPicture Stories")This series of illustrated stories ("comics") was started in 1967 by Anant Pai ("Uncle Pai", 1929-2011Wiki). Working at India Book House in Bombay he had observed that the education system at that timeseemed mostly geared to teaching children about Western history and culture.

The Amar Chitra Katha comics were originally published by H. G. Marchandani for India Book House(IBH), 29 Wodehouse Road, Bombay 400 039. From 1969 to 1991 the company was very active in

bringing out new issues, but after this they mostly reprinted earlier issues on better paper. As of 2008perhaps this will change. According to the Amar Chitra Katha Wikipedia entry(December 2008),

"In 2007, the imprint and all its titles were acquired by a new venture called ACK Media. OnSeptember 17, 2008, a new website by ACK-media was launched calledwww.amarchitrakatha.com."

ACK Media(FAQ)Information on the ACK Media websiteand elsewhere suggested that as of 2008 the company was

planning on issuing new titles and that these would include, for the first time, living people. The first oftheir new titles came out in 2010.

4.Amar Chitra Katha versions of history

ACK comic books became so popular that their versions are widely considered accurate and canonical.However, for many of the most popular ancient tales there are numerous regional versions. And manymodern critics have pointed out what they see as certain biases in the re-tellings. See, e.g., McLain, p. 81ff(Return)

5. The First 10 issues of Amar Chitra Katha 10 European Fairy Tales

The ACK announcement at right advertises translations of 10 Western tales into 8Indian languages (thanks to Prabhat Kumar Singh, who has further ACK materialson a blog called History and Mythology[formerly ACKnowledge], but for thiscredited Ajay Misra). The announcement does not number or date them, nor isEnglish mentioned, but there are later ads for English versions called "Golden

Fairy Tales". They were originally published between 1967 and 1969 and thus,although apparently at the time available only in Hindi, might be considered asoriginal series volumes 1 to 10. I have never seen these so I cannot confirmwhether they had numbers on them I have, though, seen lists where they arenumbered as follows (note that this is a somewhat different order from the waythey appear in the image at right):

01. Jack & The Bean Stalk02. Cinderella03. Little Red Riding Hood04. Aladdin & His Lamp

05. The Magic Fountain06. The Three Little Pigs07. The Sleeping Beauty08. The Wizard of Oz09. Pinochhio10. Snow White & Seven Dwarfs

Ajay subsequently posted covers for these in Dec 2009and Feb 2010.(Return)

6.Language and nature of Amar Chitra Katha comics

These comics were all originally written in English and this has always been the primary language, butsome (I do not know how many) of them were also published in major Indian languages: Hindi, Marathi,Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. As told here all these stories are basicallychildren's versions. As can be seen from the links here, Wikipedia now provides a lot of information onmost of these subjects. Hopefully this information will continue to expand and improve, making it easierto learn the wide, deep and varied manifestations of all these stories as told over time and in differentIndian communities.(Return)

The information on earlyissues in the following list is mostly taken from a file Prabhat personally sent me. (See aboveregarding theFairy Tales published during 1967-69.)

1969: #111970: #12 to #151971: #16 to #25

8.End of the old seriesIn 1991 ACK sales were dwindling and the old series ended that year with #436, Jawaharlal Nehru. Thesame year ACK began their new series by republishing old issues on better quality paper. The first originaltitles in the new series do not appear until almost 10 years later, and as yet none of the new issues hasretold a story from India's past. All this leaves open the question as to why sales were dwindling. The most

popular issues apparently concerned Indian heroes and heroines from India's past but, after #412Roopmati, only one issue in the original series brought up a new story from pre-modern India, #424TheClever Dancer. Certainly there are other such personages available in some cases perhaps finding reliableenough information about them to allow their tales to be told appropriately is too costly, in other cases theeditors have apparently not considered those subjects appropriate. The company itself has suggested thatthe main reason for the drop in sales was competition from other popular media, television in particular.(Return)

My collection does not now include any of these bumper issues I once had a few, but gave them awaywhen I had the individual issues of which they were comprised. Announcements listing 35 bumper issues,such as the attached, were common in reprints from mid 1980s ones from the early 1980s have fewer. Thenew series also groups individual issues. Some seem to be reprints of the earlier bumper issues others are"Special Collections" that apparently are not bound together.(Return)

12.Deluxe Bound Volumes

This quote comes from my March 1981 re-print of No. 208. Note that "11 to 210" is actually 200 issues,and there is no explanation of how they made 21 volumes of 10 issues each from this. The advertisementshows the cover of Volume 14 this volume presumably included numbers 141-150, as at the bottom of thecover there are pictures of the covers of issues 148, 147, 149, 146 and 145 (left to right).(Return)

13.Chaturang Katha (CK)Chaturang (or Chaturanga), literally "four colors" or "four aspects", is best known as the Indian ancestor ofchess but is also used in many other contexts. The IBH Chaturang Katha series, which consists mostly ifnot all of love stories, was apparently published between 1976 and 1980 and had at least 18 titles, thelowest known issue number being #501, the highest #517. Some were later reprinted in the original ACK

series proper, though perhaps with the title changed. There were apparently 20 titles in all, including the 16listed on thisback cover(thanks again to Ajay Misra many can be downloaded online from here):

#501 Padmavati (1977?) ACK #380Padmavati (One of the Vetala Stories [Wiki: Baital Pachisi]CK attrib. Lakshmi Lal)

#518 Mirza Sahibanh not in ACK one of the four popular tragic romances of the Punjab (Wiki)

#519 Kandarpa not in ACK from the Kathasaritsagara (Kesata and Kandarpa, who wed

Rupavati and Sumanas)

#520 Chauladevi not in ACK Chaula Devi was dancer at the Somnath temple (14th

century)

Note that most of the CK scripts identified so far seem to have been either written or edited by LakshmiLal (search internet for other publications: example). As far as I can tell the earliest ACK script attributed

to her was #126Jataka Tales: Elephant Stories (1977 see the ACK issue dates). Since 1976 or 1977 seemsto be the earliest date given at ACK as well as at CK for titles attributed to Lakshmi Lal, one might suspectthat Lakshmi Lal was largely responsible for the Chaturang Katha series, that its issues were originally

published between 1977 and 1980, and then some of them were incorporated into the ACK series in 1987and perhaps 1988.

The above information comes from various internet searches. Inconsistencies such as in dating are as yetunresolved. Note that #505 has been described as a strange tale in which the heads of two people areinterchanged (from Vetala Panchavimshati?), and #510 seems to be based on Bharatendu's play "Nil Devi"about "the scheming Muslim chief, the valiant Rajput king and his loyal wife, always prepared to followhim in death".

14.Amar Charitra KathaAs yet I have heard of only one title with this label:

Paramahansa Yogananda, "A Saint for East and West" (Wiki)India Book House Publishing, 1982

Presumably this issue was done especially for an outside society: it comes with the following statement:"Script approved by the International Publications Council of Self-Realization Fellowship/YogodaSatsanga Sciety of India".

(Return)

15.Other labelsFrom time to time I have come across other Indian classic comic labels. Although some, such asChaturang Kathaand Amar Charitra Katha, seem to have had a connection to Amar Chitra Katha, othersapparently did not. One of the most interesting of these is the Adarsh Chitra Katha series edited by " D.Kumar" and "published by Geeta Kumar for Argus Central Enterprises. 16, Golf Links, New Delhi-110003...." Of these I have only one, #7, Ahalya. Between 1980 and 1983 there were apparently 46 titles

published, as follows (many can be downloaded online from here):

Issues of Adarsh Chitra Katha

1. The City of Nine Gates2. Rishyasringa3. Balarama to the Rescue4. Sadhu and Lilavati (online)5. Brahma's Instructions to Gods, Men and Demons and other Stories6. Battle of Wits7. Ahalya, retold from the Ramayana8. Bhadra Kundalakesha9. Jassa Singh Ahluwalla

There are/were many other companies most apparently did modern stories and/or translations of foreigncomics some, such as Chitra Bharati Kathamala (Wiki), mixed in some traditional Indian stories as well.

The information on issue names and numbers comes from the online copies, linked above. I do not knowhow many issues there were in all.(Return)

16.Amar Chitra Katha New SeriesThe new series begun by IBH in the early 1990s consists mostly of reissues on better paper, re-numbered

beginning with #501(Krishna). However, from #679(1997) to #737(2005) they also added five new titles(listed above). The last issue before its 2007 acquisitionby ACK Media was #744(reprinting #292Chokha Mela). This made 244 new series individual issues in all (compare the Wikipedia title list(updated2011) and see my comment below on Issues in ACK numbering). Since then its seems that more have

been re-issued, but apparently there was for a long time a limit on this due to the destruction in a 1994 fireof the artwork and negatives for many of the other original series issues (McLain, p.47).

My new series collectionIssues I have from the new series (compare the complete list) are of three types, listed here in three places.Most important for my collection are the issues for which I do not have the original from the old series at

present eight of these missing volumes are now available in the new series (the "availables"). Next comethe newly written issues (there seem to be five of these new series "additions" I have four of them). Thirdare new series issues that duplicate issues I already have in the old series ("extras").(Return)

17.Ram Charit Manas(2007)(also published as "Tulsidas' Ramayana")The new special issueRam Charit Manas (Wiki) relates the same basic stories told in other ACK talesfrom the Ramayana (see especially Valmiki's Ramayana), but it is based on the version written (in a formof modern Hindi) by Tulsidas(16th c. it is said to be the first published translation of the Ramayana fromthe original Sanskrit). All the other new series additionsconcern people of modern times, so this RamCharit Manas with its new images and dialogue seems to have been the first new ACK issue on an ancienttheme since #434.

Ram Charit Manas combines five new volumes of 32 pages each, totalling 160 pages:

1. The Childhood Days of Ram

2. Ram in Exile3. The Abduction of Sita4. In Search of Sita5. Ram, the Victorious

Each of the five volumes has its own glossy title page, which could serve as a cover. However, I have notheard of these five actually having been released as separate issues.(Return)

18.Future releases: 2009 updateOne announcement for future releases was in a Business Standardpress releasedated March 6, 2009 it

mentioned such names as N R Narayana Murthy, Sachin Tendulkar, and APJ Abdul Kalam.(Return)

19.Updating the list of available ACK issues after the end of 2008 As mentioned above, as of the beginning of 2009 ACK issues were of two types: old series (#11 to #436,all out of print) and new series (#501 to #744). Although the latter should have amounted to 244 titles, itseems that only 242 were then in print: one new series reprint was droppped: #602, the Quick-WittedBirbal (q.v.) and one new series new title was never made available to the general public: #679, SwamiPranavananda (q.v.).

In May 2009, when I moved to Mumbai, I re-examined myNew series listingand discovered that there

were now eight new listings(all reprints from the original series), bringing this number to 250 (taking intoaccount the two that were dropped). As of July 2010 the ACK new series had added only republications ofold issues. Specifically, as the
