a) Go to Comic Con

b) Realise you are nearly a 40-year old uncle in a sea of 20-somethings in the entire comic con

c) Get awkward and run for a safe nostalgic space to find other uncles

d) The space turns out to be Raj Comic booths with both Sanjay and Manish ji chatting and signing copies

e) Spend buttloads of money on nostalgia and childhood fantasy

f) Profit ??

Anyway, picked up Naagayan CE, with tons of extra stuff, Khajana and Dracula series (some of their best works), Rajnagar ki Tabahi (one of the first Indian comics to mix video games and superheroes) and a bunch of newly written stuff - ofcourse all in Hindi since I just can't read these awesomeness in any other language. I also like what they have done with the limited editions, with embossed lettering etc. 

Sad to see both the Guptas go their own way - many stories are published by both camps, and it is MEGA CONFUSING what is included in which collected editions. They just made reading a childhood comic 100x more difficult. 

You win the thread sir.


Anywhere i can get the entire Dhruv & Nagaraj series in Hindi. Hope buying online is an option too.

Rajcomicsuniverse

Comicsadda

Comicshaveli

 

Both the Gupta Bros have split, so now you've Raj Comics by Sanjay Gupta and Raj Comics by Manish Gupta. Depending on their arrangement, one of them sells individual comics as sets, and another one sells collected digests of same comics. So you gotta check the ones you want, and order accordingly.  

They are differentiating via new storylines over the course of last year.  

 

Edit: You can find sets on Amazon and Flipkart too.

Great collection. I still remember we were so hyped about "Maine Mara Dhruv Ko" when it was released.

 

That was one of the best storylines in RC. In general, the stories during heydays are much better than what's written now. I'm reading a few released in the last year, and there is so much sexism in the dialogues. A lot of street language is used, which is jarring coming from superheroes. 

The golden era is sadly gone, but fortunately we can still buy those comics. Wouldn't recommend anything written and published in 2022 (by RCSG). Yet to read from RCMG camp.

There are a lot of sellers, but cheapest option right now is comichaveli since they are clearing all RC stocks. expect 40% discount from them.  most reliable is comicsadda.

 

I wouldn't recommend Rajcomicsuniverse, rajcomics.net at all.  There have been a lot of complaints of missing comics, novelties, and refund issues.  Mods/admins of FB group of both RCSG and RCMG simply block users who raise any complaints regarding orders.

Sahi Pakade Hain.

Dhruv comics used to had a bit of science in them. Don't know if they still use it, haven't read any of them for a decade.

I have still got some of the old collections from my teenage time.

Introduction of Swarna Nagri, Kirigi, Bauna Vamaan series etc. Such great reads.

Science has been dumbed down quite a bit. It's mostly pseudoscience with fantasy elements now.  I'm reading a new series, and Nagaraj has so many new powers, almost seems one is made up on the spot for moving the story forward. :lol:

Also Brahmaand Rakshak, Brahmand Rakshak Vistaar, Para Brahmand Rakshak etc. Number of superheroes are crazy, and the names are crazier. :rofl:

Nagraj aur Super Commando Dhruv, Nagraj aur Bugaku, Kirigi Ka Kahar, Maine Mara Dhruv Ko, Chumba ka Chakravyuh, Doctor Virus, Khazana series - all were superhits at that time. Nagraj aur Bugaku still holds the record of max number of copies sold in RC history till date. I still got whole collection of Dhruv and Nagraj, and some of Fighter Toads, Bhokal, Parmanu, Doga, Bhediya, Pret Uncle but hardly get any time to read them.

 

Reason why Nagaraj has become so confusing is that there are 3 versions of him now - vishwarakshak, atankharta, narak nashak. 

btw sorry for all the OTs.  i think we should have a separate thread for RC fans :bigyellowgrin::bigyellowgrin:
