Tulsi Comics

Tulsi Comics was an Indian comics publisher in the late 80s and early 90s.

It was the comic division of Tulsi Pocket Books, a popular publishers of Hindi novels in India. Though backed by an established and vast customer base of the novel, Tulsi comics never achieved high success as they lacked in quality and were not up to the standards of Diamond Comics, Raj Comics or Manoj Comics, and finally shut down.

Another reason for Tulsi comics failure was that they produced a story arc in minimum 2-3 parts they never gave a complete story in a single issue. Since most of the comic readers in India are children who had limited pocket money. This scheme of milking more money by producing extremely long plots through so many parts ultimately backfired and it lost popularity among its reader base. Chief among it was a huge story arc of Jamboo spanning several comics lasting for more than a year.

Though this whole series was among the best Tulsi has ever offered creatively, this long continuing series along with introducing a lot of new characters like Yosho (formerly advertised as Osho), Yoga, Baaj and Mr. India lead to its death spell. New characters were just not as exiting and older characters were multi-part stories.
