superhero-centric comic books.The majority of their output is in the Hindi language, but a few titles and 'special editions' have been translated into English.It has produced close to 3500 comics till date.
Raja Pocket Books started publishing Raj comics and King Comics simultaneously. King comics lasted for about 2 years. After that, some heroes of King comics like Gamraj were merged in Raj comics. Not to be confused, Raj comics and King comics were two divisions of Raja Pocket Books. They used to publish comics using the same artists and writers in both the comic series. In the last few years its popularity has come down immensely due to lack of promotion, availability and storyline.
