Greetings barbarians!

Been long eh? After a hiatus of 5 months I'm back this time with a stuff load of Kiran comics.
Kiran Comics was an eighties publication from Delhi and was mainly reprinting Tarzan and Korak series.
Although the credits do not specify from which line have they been re-printing!

Well Tarzan has seen printing since the early ages of comicdom by different publishers most popular being Goldkey and DC , it also saw printing in many different languages ,newstrips etc.

Worth noting is the work by Joe Kubert towards Tarzan's 'immortalization', just like spiderman belongs to Stan Lee ,Tarzan belongs to Joe Kurbert.

Between 1972 - 1975 he brought Tarzan into the mainstream with great art which previously was non-existent.

Kiran Comics published the following titles-

Characters Owner
Tarzan Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
Tarzan's Son Korak Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
Laurel and Hardy Larry Larmon Pictures Corporations, USA
Superman DC Comics, Inc.  
Richie Rich Harvey Publications, Inc.

I'm uploading the covers of what reminiscent i 'm left with Kiran Comics and also some Tarzan stuff from other lines which i had acquired during my globe hopping. Notably while going through my posession of trunk load of comics i came across a rare TARZAN Comic Album by Kiran way back in 1983! Have a feast guys -
