List of Amar Chitra Katha comics

Last updated

This is a list of titles in the Indian Amar Chitra Katha comic book series published by India Book House. The series was started by Anant Pai in 1967, and is continued by Amar Chitra Katha Ltd. today.

Contents

The publication years listed are for the earliest earliest verifiable edition or reprint for which an ISBN or other catalog listing is available. Subsequent reprintings have later years listed.

Several issues and specials have been published in partnership with government, military, religious, and corporate institutions. Some of these are for internal circulation only, and are not available for sale to the general public.

ACK Junior is a separate series of comics and chapter books with similar titles and themes but which adopt a visual and storytelling style appropriate for very young children. Those issues are not considered to be part of the main ACK catalog.

For slightly older children, Amar Chitra Katha has collaborated with HarperCollins India to release chapter book versions of some of their most popular specials. [1]

The company also releases special volumes containing collections of comic strips featuring characters from Tinkle magazine.

List of Individual Issues

As of 2025, at least 500 individual issues have been published. There is some confusion about the exact number due to the numbering schemes being revamped multiple times. [2] [3]

The table below shows the numbering as part of both the old and new series. [4]
