Dear all,
it is easy to set up lists on archive.org:
https://archive.org/details/@vangrmr/lists/1/sanskrit-comics
I will gladly add further items if they show up.
Best wishes,

Dear Tyler,
Thanks for sharing the Sanskrit versions of those ACK publications -
it's always a pleasure to browse through these! I just wanted to alert
you to a few more translated titles residing on Internet Archive.
These are listed below, and the last two are unfortunately missing
their title page.
Kannagi: https://archive.org/details/kannagi_ack_sanskrit/mode/2up
Napoleon Bonaparte:

Kalidasa:

I don't know if more such Sanskrit translations exist, but it will
certainly be nice to have them all together in one place.
Best wishes,
Priya

Dear List,
For over a decade, I've had in my possession two rare Amar Chitra
Katha comic books in Sanskrit (गंगा and भगवान् बुद्धः), given out
by Sadananda Das to students in his spoken Sanskrit summer course
(Heidelberg, 2013). I also discovered another one already
digitized online (हनुमान्), plus one more Sanskrit comic book
(रामायण) that's not Amar Chitra Katha. Two of the Amar Chitra
Katha items clearly note the role of Pandit Gulam Dastgir, who I
believe was the translator of all three.
Checking now, I'm surprised to see that no one else has yet made
these items easily available online, e.g., on Archive. They are
great learning tools, if nothing else.
To fix this, I've now digitized my two and uploaded all four to
Archive:

Please enjoy and share widely. Let me know if there are any
copyright concerns, or if I can improve the metadata to make them
easier to find. Also, if you have or know of additional Sanskrit
comic books of this sort, please be in touch, maybe I can continue
organizing better access.
Kind wishes,
Tyler
