An enchanting cover depicting Shakuntala from the Mahabaratha. This comic was published by Hemkunt Publishers in 1984.
Hemkunt published mostly story books featuring stories from Indian epics and folktales. To my knowledge, only two comics were published by them, the cover of one of which is featured here
Phantom mini comic No.3, issued by Diamond Comics as a complimentary product alongwith Creamwich biscuit in 1998
As the curtains draw a close to what has been the toughest year for humanity in recent memory, pharmaceutical companies and governments of the world are dashing to develop the perfect vaccine for Covid-19 and administer it to their embattled citizens in time.
The comic cover presented today reflects the present scenario. This comic book was released by Sanofi Pasteur to promote their flu vaccine Vaxiguard. This book captures the adventures of a doctor named Max Ivan who transforms into a superhero called Vaximan, who with the help of Vaxiguard fights the evil forces if In,Flu&Za. Interesting to note that Vaximan is an anagram of Max Ivan 😀
Presenting a cover of another rare mini comic book which was issued in the late 1990's. This was provided free with a popular wafer biscuit brand called Creamwich. This mini comic book has about 34 pages and features a story called , 'Phantom and the Whispering Grove'
Creamwich at one point in time seems to have issued promotional mini comics around a number of superheroes, as I have another comic book from the same series , featuring He-Man.
If anyone has more information on how many more books were issued by Creamwich and any other superheroes covered, kindly feel free to share.
