Comic Book Tinkle Pdf

[Jamey Saldana]

Tinkleis an Indian weekly magazine for children in English, published from Mumbai.[1] Originally owned by the India Book House, the Tinkle brand was acquired by ACK (Amar Chitra Katha) Media in 2007.[2] The magazine contains comics, stories, puzzles, quizzes, contests and other features targeted at school children, although its readership includes many adults as well. It is published in English and syndicated in many Indian languages like Hindi, Bengali, and Malayalam.

Anant Pai, the founding editor of the magazine, is known to his readers as Uncle Pai. The idea behind starting a comic book series devoted to Indian culture and history came to Pai from a quiz contest aired on Doordarshan in February 1967, in which participants could easily answer questions pertaining to Greek mythology, but were unable to reply to the question "In the Ramayana, who was Rama's mother?"

Pai left his job at Times of India, and started ACK (Amar Chitra Katha) the same year, with the help of late G.L. Mirchandani of IBH, (who also took charge as the command of Tinkle late when it was formed), when most other publishers had rejected the concept. Later, he took on the role of writer, editor, and publisher. The series went on to become a publishing milestone for the Indian comic book scene, selling over 90 million copies of about 440 titles (as per the last count until the end of 2008).[5] He has also launched the popular series.

Rajani Thindiath took over as editor-in-chief in 2010 and ran the magazine for a decade before moving on from the role in January 2021. During her tenure as editor, she created two brand-new series for Tinkle. The first was SuperWeirdos, a series about a set of teenagers with super-weird powers, The series encouraged readers to embrace their uniqueness. The second series she created was YogYodhas, centered on two siblings, Bir and Bala, who are the latest in a long line of yogic warriors who can manifest spirit creatures called praanis. These praanis come to their aid in the YogYodhas' fight against evil. Rajani was also responsible for opening up different genres within Tinkle; she launched Tinkle superheroes like WingStar and the aforementioned SuperWeirdos, introduced horror comedy for the first time in the form of Billy the Vampire (and later, Buchki and the Booligans), and created space for a boarding school series as well called NOIS!

Who doesn't love comics? Like seriously, who doesn't!!! There is actually nothing more exciting than reading a story, with all the pictures describing it. I somehow had lost touch with reading them, but now that I have, I don't want to stop. Tinkle lovers must still have their collection intact and just can't let go of them.

In India, Tinkle tops the list in the most Classic Indian Comics books and is followed by Chacha Chaudhary, Champak, and Panchatantra. Our eyes glitter, adults act like kids, and there are fights in the family to grab that fresh new Tinkle copy. I am sure every kid must have had copies of Tinkle Digest (now Tinkle Magazine) to read while traveling by train/buses during vacations to their hometown.

Tinkle is known for Shikari Shambu (SS) and Supandi, they are etched into our memories. The first comic I always read was SS and Supandi. SS with all his antics somehow manages to just turn out to be the hero in the end, and Supandi with his innocence leaves you in splits. The creative artists of all the characters need to be applauded for the intricate details that are still prevalent to date.

In this volume, SS once again gains all the accolades leaving Binodini in wonder, and Supandi is on his wits catching everything recorded to its literal sense. Dotty and the Albino Dragon give you a completely different perspective on the disappearance of the moon. Pranav and his Dadi tell us the importance of Karate and how everyone needs to learn this skill for self-defense. The real-life story of Dasrath Manjhi making a pathway for his fellow villagers, through the mighty mountain is beautifully depicted. A lot of educational information and fun activities are also interestingly included in the magazine, like our very famous game of Name, Place, Animal, Thing, Word Play, and Tinkle Times.

Tinkle has undergone a lot of changes from that time when I was a kid to the volume that I am currently reviewing, but the one thing that hasn't changed, is the essence that keeps it's readers completely hooked; be it, adult or kid there is always this enthusiasm to read these books and feel revived.

All the writers, editors, and designers put in a crazy amount of effort to live up to the people's expectations. And their creativity is just another level, you can't help but be surprised by the detailing and newness in each of the magazines.

A total of 622 issues have been printed so far; Suppandi, Tantri The Mantri and Shikari Shambu are some of the most renowned Tinkle comic characters and have been recognised globally as well. Apart from comic strips, Tinkle also contains various stories, puzzles, quizzes, contests along with other features which are mostly targeted at school children.

As the date of Mumbai films and Comic convention is nearing, all comic publishers are geared up to launch their new projects and this 34 year old comic is all set to bring out its new edition this month.

According to areportin The Telegraph, although Tantri is now the king, the comics will continue to be called Tantri the Mantri, given the high recall value among readers. The stories will now follow Tantri as the ruler, dealing with the hurdles of running a monarchy, and perhaps being paranoid about a new Tantri-esque character to his king.

The much-loved Malayali superhero 'Minnal Murali,' created by director Basil Joseph and starring Tovino Thomas, has now found its way into the world of comic books. The makers of 'Minnal Murali' joyously confirmed this development through their social media handle.

The production house behind the superhero film proudly announced their collaboration with esteemed names like Amar Chitra Katha, Tinkle Comics Studio, and Spirit Media to immortalize 'Minnal Murali' in the comic book universe.

Sophia Paul, the producer of the film, took to her social media to share the momentous news. She expressed her excitement for the next phase of 'Minnal Murali,' stating, 'The next phase begins here! @weekendblockbusters is proud to announce that we are associating with @amarchitrakatha @tinklecomicsstudio @thespiritmedia to bring our favourite superhero MINNAL MURALI to the world of comic books'.

While watching a quiz show on Doordarshan back in the 1960s, Anant (Uncle) Pai was disgruntled by the fact that while the participants knew a lot about Greek heroes and mythology, they displayed an embarrassing lack of knowledge on Indian mythology.

The senior consultant at a leading not-for-profit organisation in Mumbai says that it was reading these books after the passing of her grandparents that helped not only her but her parents to keep up with Indian folk tales in their cosmopolitan lives.

The comics have grown with usVyas loves how her 11-year-old son reads the same characters in Tinkle as she once did. The same characters have been able to transcend generations, which speaks volumes about the craft of the stories. But this also comes with the conscious effort of keeping the characters contemporary and relatable.

They also published Women Pathbreakers recently, a book that documents legendary women in India through the 1800s and 1900s, such as Pandita Ramabai, who changed the lives of child brides and widows, Anandibai Joshi who was the first female doctor in India and Rukhmabai who inspired the Age of Consent Act.

Free during the lockdownAfter Prime Minister Modi announced a complete national lockdown for 21 days to slow the spread of coronavirus, ACK Media decided to waive the subscription fee for its online editions of these two series for 30 days.

My son loves reading ACK books. Having already read 100s of them, opening up the subscription for 30 days is a great boon. With the treasure trove of great books, he is hooked up to the iPad with ACK App installed on it.

This is a feature called "Nothing is Better." I have a feature called "Reason to Get Excited," where I spotlight aspects of current comic books that have particularly impressed me. I had started to expand it to older comics, but it just didn't feel right. I really think "Reason to Get Excited" should be reserved for current comic books. Therefore, this is the equivalent column for older comic books, "Nothing is Better," where I spotlight aspects of classic comic books that have particularly impressed me.

By the way, before I get into the full article, let me just note how annoying it was that I couldn't really find a good example of the Oksner "twinkle" on a comic book cover. I get the basic problem, which is that comic covers tend to go for more over-dramatic things and the twinkle is almost inherently a subtler approach. But it still surprised me that I couldn't find a really good example. In any event, just in case you're wondering why the featured image for an article about Oksner's "twinkle" barely contains an example of the Oksner "twinkle," that's why.

Oksner got his start in the 1940s, and he was often used on the then-booming female-driven humor titles of that era (like Millie the Model, Patsy Walker, etc.), such as Miss Beverly Hills of Hollywood...

Oksner was one of the top artists in the business when it came to drawing beautiful women, so he would often be placed on assignments where he would, you know, draw beautiful women. However, Oksner wasn't just some T&A guy. No, what made his beautiful women stand out is how emotive and playful his characters were.
