After the footnotes, Appendix I is a numerical list of the new series issues, while Appendix II lists the old series numbers that have not yet been reprinted. 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 titles of special issues, the 5 new titles added between 19, then new series titles that began to come out in 2010 (as of 2014 this list may be out of date). Then in 2011 we left India, and later that year I was very happy to learn that the Wikipedia list had finally been corrected and updated (with reference in part to my own online list). At the time there was considerable online confusion about the numbers of the ACK issues, regarding both combined and single publications.21 This was of particular note with regard to the March to Freedom series.22 While living in India I updated the list considerably.
I put this all online mainly because the existing online lists were at that time very inadequate, and I hoped this would help me find my missing issues. In May 2009 I took my list and updated it, adding new series reprints, as my wife and I prepared to move to India. 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.19 However, 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. By 2009 some media articles were suggesting that under its new ownership ACK might soon publish more new issues, for the first time writing about living people.18 Unfortunately, ACK's own online listings are generally only alphabetical rather than numerical or chronological, and the addresses of their listings keep changing, and so it is not always easy to find an updated listing there. Meanwhile, in 2007 ACK came under new ownership. Two of these new special issues are of particular note here: Bhagawat - The Krishna Avata (although it consists of earlier issues, I am missing most of the originals) and Ram Charit Manas17 (though sometimes drawing on earlier versions of the story, it was completely new). Although these 244 issues were mostly republications of issues from the original series, they also included five new titles.16 During this period they also published a number of special issues, all but one a combination of earlier single issues. By 2008 this new series consisted of 244 issues numbering from 501 (Krishna) to 744 (Chokha Mela). For some reason IBH also printed some of the original issues under a different label, Chaturang Katha.13 They also published some specialty titles under other labels, such as Amar Charitra Katha.14 (Other labels with similar content, such as Adarsh Chitra Katha, 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 new numbers. Of these titles as one volume11), and at one time re-printed the earliest issues in "21 deluxe bound volumes, each containing 10 Amar Chitra Katha titles serially from No. These books were mostly written by Indians and assumed a body of knowledge I did not have so in order not to be totally 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.4 Although ACK had begun in 1967 with an unnumbered set of 10 Western fairy tales retold in Hindi,5 from 1969 they almost exclusively told Indian stories and all were initially published in English.6 Amar Chitra Katha's original numbered series of 426 Indian classical comics began in 1969 with #11, Krishna 7 it ended in 1991 with #436, Jawaharlal Nehru.8 This original series also included three larger special issues.9 In addition, between 1969 to 1991 IBH reprinted many of the early titles individually,10 published at least 35 "Bumper Issues" (each re-printing three 印度古典連環圖畫 First in the series 2 During the 1980s and 1990s, while working with the Festival of Asian Arts in Hong Kong, I went to India a number of times, mainly to see performances.3 As traditional Indian performances are almost always connected to Indian religion, folklore, history, and so forth, while there I bought a number of academic books in order better to understand these topics.
