Description
Pran Kumar Sharma gifted Indian comics a legendary detective-sage — and this vintage Diamond Comics issue brings him face-to-face with the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Chacha Chaudhary aur Cleopatra ka Khazana is a thrilling adventure story where the razor-sharp intellect of Chacha Chaudhary and the immense strength of Sabu are pitted against the secrets of Cleopatra’s lost treasure — delivering the perfect blend of humour, suspense, and action that defined Pran’s iconic storytelling.
The cover art captures the drama brilliantly — an imposing blue-robed Cleopatra seated regally on her Egyptian throne with tall pillars behind her, while the mighty Sabu looms at the bottom in his signature orange-red form, with Chacha Chaudhary’s presence anchoring the adventure. The Diamond Comics logo is clearly visible at the top left, and the Hindi title “चाचा चौधरी और क्लियोपेट्रा का खज़ाना” is displayed in bold lettering — instantly recognisable to any fan of the era.
This is a genuine vintage original copy from the Diamond Comics collection — not a reprint. Adventure-themed issues pairing Chacha Chaudhary with historical or mythological settings are among the most sought-after in the collector market, combining nostalgia with storytelling imagination that was ahead of its time.
