Ten Years: 1980-1990 ... Following up on my previous post " The 1980s ", I thought of punching in a few more lines on the amazing decade. I remember those days, while at school trying to get a hold on them Comics. Some were so Popular that you still remember reading them like yesterday :D
Chacha Choudhary & Sabu, Nagaraj, Phantom, Mandrake, He-Man, Archie, Champak and The Giant Robot to name a few.
I still remember the funny captions they came up with e.g Sabu - The man from Jupiter, a loyal friend of Chacha Chaudhary. "Jab SABU ko ghussa aata hai to Jupiter pe Jwalamukhi phutta hai" Lol ... (when Sabu gets angry there's a volcanic eruption on Jupiter). Nagaraj - The walking Snake Pit, throwing snakes out his palms. Mandrake - the master illusionist. Heman - I'm the Masters of the Universe.
Chacha Choudhary - Sabu - Nagaraj
