When India's comic book series Amar Chitra Katha was launched in 1967, its mission was simple: introduce children to the country's vast universe of Hindu gods, legends and history. Nearly six decades later, the comic, known simply as ACK and meaning "immortal illustrated stories", is still holding its ground in an era ruled by smartphones and streaming television.
