This photograph taken on January 14, 2026 shows illustrators working on their computers at India's oldest and indigenous comic book publisher Amar Chitra Katha's office in Mumbai. When India's comic book series Amar Chitra Katha was launched in 1967, its mission was simple: introduce children to the country's vast universe of Hindu gods, legends and history. Nearly six decades later, the comic, known simply as ACK and meaning "immortal illustrated stories", is still holding its ground in an era ruled by smartphones and streaming television.
