Raj Comics

                                                  RC Universe

Raj comics(RC) is the pseudo name for Indian comics.The comic book section of Raja Pocket Books have a whole bunch of characters,superbly crafted out by the creative minds of Manish Gupta,Anupam Sinha,Jolly Sinha,Sunil Pandey,Vitthal Kambley & others who are the brains behind this extremely popular comic range.

Their Arsenal of Superheroes are meticulously crafted & a lot of thought is put into each story.The illustrations by Anupam Sinha (Nagraj & Dhruv series),Dheeraj Verma (Bheriya & Doga series) ,Suresh Deengwal (Parmanu & Doga series) ,match with the world’s best.

To start with,I would give you a brief description of the characters ( probably in 2 or more parts).

NAGRAJ: (Lord of Serpents )

He is the most famous superhero with more than 200 titles to his name.He is the crowned prince of NAAGDWEEP (isle of snakes) which is hidden from the rest of the world.

                          Nagraj ( calling sookshma sarps living in his body )

He lives in Mahanagar in the disguise of a journalist in Bharti Communications as Raj(a stupid,good-for-nothin guy).He’s got many powers which were given to him as boons by DEV KAAL JAYI (Serpent God) when he was born to the King of Naagdweep. His powers include :

Hanuman VS Superman

All of us know the story of the Ramayan and how Lord Hanuman helped Lord Ram defeat Ravan and how he rules the heart of many young Indians as the deity who amuses them with his heroic adventures yet being so humble. But perhaps few among us know that now he is going to rule the comics industry with many companies including Virgin comics of Shekhar Kapoor bringing out Hanuman comics.The recent success of Hanuman toon movies & the increasing fan base for the deity has led the industry to think of new ways to capitalise on this & make some money! 

Comic Book based on Hanuman is the March 2008 edition in the India Authentic Series presented by Deepak Chopra and Virgin Comics. This is the 11^th book in the India Authentic Series based on Hindu Gods..

The previous editions of India Authentic series from Virgin comics have been noted for its high quality illustrations.
Its already in news that even american comic enthusiasts who were ever amused by Superman and Spiderman are now turning to the new monkey God around the circle and now he’s got a whole new fan club down there!

The good thing about it is that the illustrations are of ultimate quality and the storylines have been adequately adapted to make it a fun reading by using plots from Indian mythology.The prospects of hindu mythology in entertainment industry is immense as is proved by the fact that hollywood is going to get a movie based on Ramayan with rumours featuring Keano Reeves (Matrix)  as Ram.
