(Though a few Australian books were bound in landscape format.) It means you have to turn the open book lengthways to start reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love those oddball mascots. I always thought it was a little disturbing, though, when they had animated edible mascots. Did the mascots not realize they were promoting their own ingestion? Kid characters: "Um, Mr. Softee, shall we use a spoon or just lick your head?" Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could post thousands upon thousands of such comics from India (just like this one) and be nowhere near done posting. (Also, if I’m not mistaken, it’s not a GA era book).

I think he is a cool protector unlike most American superheroes. I'd love to see more Garuda comic books if can find them! BTW, John Keel drew parallels with Garuda legends and West Virginia's legendary Mothman! Edited April 11, 2020 by BOOT MusterMark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
