Bengaluru GAFX 2026: Alpha Comics Launches New Kids Comics as Industry Leaders Share Insights
Kids comics are making a comeback! Alpha Comics unveils fresh titles created by an amazing team of storytellers and artists.
The recently concluded Bengaluru GAFX in Bengaluru once again proved why it has become one of the most important gatherings for the animation, gaming and comics ecosystem in India. The event brought together creators, publishers and industry veterans who shared their perspectives on storytelling, creativity and the future of visual entertainment.

Among the prominent voices present at the event were Sanjay Gupta / Vasu Gupta representing Raj Comics and Alpha Comics, Ajitesh Sharma from Indian Comics Association and Cinamics, and Md. Shahbaz from Cosmics Entertainment / ICA. These creators and industry leaders shared thoughtful insights about the growth of Indian comics, the need for original storytelling, and the importance of nurturing the next generation of readers.
One of the most exciting highlights of the event came from Alpha Comics, which unveiled three brand-new comics specifically created for young readers. At a time when very few publications are focusing on children’s comics, this initiative stands out as both refreshing and necessary.
New Kids Comics Launched
The newly announced titles aim to deliver fun, imagination, and engaging storytelling for younger audiences:
- My Nani Is An Alien – Issue #4: Missing Moon of Nocturna
- Animinja – Island of Ninjas
- Maddy The Mischief Maker – The Eraser King
These comics combine humor, adventure and vibrant visuals, making them appealing to kids who are discovering comics for the first time.
Behind these releases is a passionate creative team led by Sanjay Gupta along with creators like Saahil S Sharma, Dr. Piyush Kumar, and the exceptionally talented artist Abhijit Kini. Their combined effort brings together storytelling, humor and expressive artwork that can capture the imagination of young readers.
Why Kids Comics Matter Today
In the past, children’s comics played a huge role in shaping reading habits in India. Titles from various publishers introduced generations of readers to illustrated storytelling. However, in recent years, the number of publishers consistently producing comics for kids has reduced.
This makes initiatives like the Alpha Comics launch even more significant. By focusing on young readers, they are not only creating entertaining stories but also helping rebuild the culture of reading comics among children.
A Positive Step for Indian Comics
Events like Bengaluru GAFX demonstrate how the Indian comics and animation community continues to evolve. With experienced creators sharing knowledge and publishers launching new titles, the ecosystem is gradually expanding.

The launch of these kids’ comics is a reminder that the future of comics lies in nurturing new readers. If children discover the joy of comics today, they will become the lifelong fans, collectors, and creators of tomorrow.
And initiatives like these ensure that the colorful world of Indian comics continues to grow. Cheers – Comics Byte!!
