List of Amar Chitra Katha comics
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. The publication years listed are for the earliest verifiable edition or reprint for which an ISBN or other catalog listing is available. Subsequent reprintings may have later years listed. Some titles have also been published in Indian languages.
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]
Starting in September 2025, the company started releasing audio book versions of their comics in partnership with Audible.[2] The initial release included 111 of the most popular issues recorded in English and Hindi, and focused on collections like The Ramayana, Mahabharata, Mahadeva, Jataka Tales, Panchatantra, and Hitopadesha. Releases in Marathi, Bengali, Telugu and Tamil are scheduled for 2026.
Several issues and specials have been published in partnership with government, military, charitable, and corporate institutions. Some of these are for internal circulation only, and are not available for sale to the general public. The company also releases special volumes and box sets containing collections of comic strips featuring characters from Tinkle magazine.
Two major fires have resulted in the loss of materials.[3] In 1994, a fire at the offices of India Book House destroyed the artwork for several unreleased issues. On October 1 2025, a fire broke out at the Amar Chitra Katha archives. The original illustrations and other archival material of the first 200 Amar Chitra Katha issues and many Tinkle Issues were destroyed. However, these had already been digitized.[4]
List of Individual Issues
As of 2025, at least 506 individual issues have been published (496 of them in English). The numbering scheme has been revamped multiple times.[5][6]
- 436 issues were released between 1967 and 1991 (426 in English). After 1991, most issues were re-released under a new numbering scheme starting at 501. No new issues were released until 1998, when issue 679 became the first new issue to be released in 7 years.
- From 1998 to 2009, very few new issues were released, and certain old issues from both Amar Chitra Katha and other marques published by India Book House like Chaturang Katha and Adarsh Chitra Katha received re-releases numbered DG451 to DG476.
- From 2010 to 2014, regular publication of new issues resumed. Since then, new issues have been released sporadically. From 1998 to 2025, 68 new titles have been published.
- There are cases of multiple issues having the same catalog number or the same issue being re-released with a new title and catalog number. Certain numbers are missing from the catalog. Both new issues and reprints of numbered issues sometimes lack numbering.
The table below shows the numbering as part of both the old and new series.[7]
