List of Amar Chitra Katha comics

This is a list of titles in the Indian Amar Chitra Katha comic book series published by India Book House and Amar Chitra Katha Ltd. The series was started by Anant Pai in 1967. The publication years listed are for the earliest verifiable edition or reprint for which an ISBN or other catalog listing is available. Subsequent reprintings may have later years listed. Some titles have also been published in Indian languages.

ACK Junior is a separate series of comics and chapter books with similar titles and themes but which adopt a visual and storytelling style appropriate for very young children. Those issues are not considered to be part of the main ACK catalog. For slightly older children, Amar Chitra Katha has collaborated with Rupa Publications and HarperCollins India to release chapter book versions of some of their most popular specials.

Starting in September 2025, the company started releasing audio book versions of their comics in partnership with Audible. The initial release included 111 of the most popular issues recorded in English and Hindi, and focused on collections like The Ramayana, Mahabharata, Mahadeva, Jataka Tales, Panchatantra, and Hitopadesha. Releases in Marathi, Bengali, Telugu and Tamil started 2026, along with animated shorts in all languages. In 2026, issues based on the Jataka Tales were released in Sinhala.

Several issues and specials have been published in partnership with government, military, charitable, academic, and corporate institutions. Some of these are for internal circulation only, and are not available for sale to the general public. The company also releases special volumes and box sets containing collections of comic strips featuring characters from Tinkle magazine. Others have been released to celebrate festivals, commemorative days, and events of national or historic importance.

Two major fires have resulted in the loss of materials. In 1994, a fire at the offices of India Book House destroyed the artwork for several unreleased issues. On October 1 2025, a fire broke out at the Amar Chitra Katha archives. The original illustrations and other archival material of the first 200 Amar Chitra Katha issues and many Tinkle Issues were destroyed. However, these had already been digitized.
