The Indian comics scene has been growing rapidly, with an emerging middle class, and the spread of pop culture globally. A native Indian comics market is being supplemented by imports from the US and other English language companies. I met two of the principles of Comic Con India last year and they told me that indie comics are as popular as superheroes in their market—so there is definitley a lot to grow on here.
Speaking of which, The Beat needs an Indian comics correspondent! If you are interested email me at comicsbeat at gmail.
I went to the Comic Con India New Delhi show and had a blast!
