I think we had Tinkle,ACK,Wisdom and Gokulam in our school library.The latter two being Childrens magazines published in Chennai.<br /><br />I was drawn to Archies towards the later part of my school days and was addicted to mainly Jughead during my college days :).Now,its my younger brother who is hooked on to these comics! :)Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151284380736080106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652681700706384487.post-12346373762106674612013-03-20T02:25:51.953-07:002013-03-20T02:25:51.953-07:00After Indrajal,the other comic series I loved was ...After Indrajal,the other comic series I loved was ACK!!Who can forget those Panchatantra,Jatak etc Indian folk-tales along with mythological stories??Also the stories on original Indian braves/famous persons were nice to read...<br />During my Indrajal hunts since mid 2000s,while I was crazy about Ijcs,would always pick few ACKs in my way.<br /><br />PS = An off-topic.In those years,the other series I became fond with was Archie's old magazine(& digests) filled with funny tales of Riverdale's gang!:) Earlier I wasn't that much exposed with this series,and read only those 1-page sunday strips since mid '90s.HojOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07025339354921022988noreply@blogger.com
