As I was reading the comic books that were collected meticulously decades ago and were neatly bound and numbered with volume numbers, my mind went to those beautiful childhood days when my younger brother and I used to spend our entire pocket money for buying them. We used to get very little pocket money, but watching us spend the little sum on buying comics and enjoying reading them, my father increased our allowance so that we could buy more. He suggested to us the way to maintain them and asked us to get them bound in volumes, so that it would be more organised. This suggestion motivated us to maintain them well.
We were fascinated to read them again and again and it used to take us to a different world.
Dalton Comics, Indrajal comics, Phantom, Superman, Spiderman, Mandrake the Magician, Zoro the Masked Hero, Amar Chitra Kathan. While we enjoyed comics the most, my father would get us Chandamama magazines, which had a great collection of stories, and one can never never forget those of Vikram and Beetal.
