New York : Comic Con India which started in India in 2011, participated at the New York Comic Con 2013 held between  10-13 October’ 2013 and received tremendous response from fans from across all age groups at the convention.

 For this four day event, Comic Con India brought the biggest Indian Comic Publisher ‘Amar Chitra Katha’ and Comics & Graphic Novels by ‘Campfire Publishing’ for all the Indian and International comic fans at the New York Comic Con.

 Also, Comic Con India brought their official Indian Merchandise and original Indian titles from their own publishing house, Pop Culture Publishing. They not only received attention from the audiences, but also got compliments for their quirky merchandise and interesting Indian superhero characters.

 Jatin Varma, Founder of Comic Con India, shared his experience at the NYCC 2013. He said, “Our participation at the New York Comic Con 2013 was highly successful. All of us, including our partners Amar Chitra Katha & Campfire Graphic Novels got an amazing response from the comic enthusiasts who attended the convention. A lot of our books and merchandise was sold out. The love and affection we received at NYCC 2013 shows that Indian comics and merchandise are not only accepted but liked by international audiences as well. We plan to participate in more such events and continue to showcase Indian Comics. “

Never did the comics’ community in India have a platform where they could meet and interact.

 A few years back, to avoid the costly expense of traveling abroad to a comic convention, a group of relatively young people in Delhi decided to create one on their own in their home city. With that simple mission, Comic Con India was formed in 2011 and has now grown to multiple events across the country.

 Comic Con India is a unique event celebrating the illustrated medium, which brings together the whole comics industry and related fields such as Merchandise, Toys, Games, Films and Animation, along with fans of this culture from all age groups.
