The origins of Indian adult comics date back to the 1980s, when publishers began releasing bold and risqué comics that pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in Indian society. These early comics were often influenced by Western adult comics and manga, and featured Indian characters in various states of undress.

In the 1980s and 90s, while mainstream publishers like Raj Comics and Diamond Comics dominated newsstands with superhero and mythological tales, a different breed of comics circulated quietly in second-hand book markets and railway stations. Titles like Mandi or independent, unauthorized strips circulated in small print runs.

Indian comics have a rich history, dating back to the 1960s with the introduction of Amar Chitra Katha, a popular comic book series that retold Indian mythology, history, and folklore in a graphic format. However, these early comics were largely aimed at a younger audience and adhered to traditional values and moral standards. As the Indian comic book industry evolved, creators began experimenting with more mature themes, but adult comics remained a largely untapped market.
