Raj Comics edit
Anupam Sinha joined Raj Comics in 1987 and created Super Commando Dhruva which took the markets by storm. Due to widespread success of the narratives Sinha used to construct, he was given the task of expanding Nagraj universe. Beginning from 1995, Sinha penned many Nagraj Comics and evolved the universe to cater to a mature audience. After a brief hiatus from Nagraj, Sinha is now helming Nagraj again with Manoj Gupta in their latest and most ambitious project yet, Sarpsatra. This is also the first series to bring together the characters Nagraj and Tausi. Tausi was originally owned by Tulsi Comics but acquired by Raj Comics in 2016.
