Description
Deewana was an Indian humor comic/magazine often described as India’s answer to MAD, a Hindi-language satirical series that featured a mascot very similar to Alfred E. Neuman. Web sources note that the series was published largely in the 1960s and 1970s, with broader coverage describing Diwana as running from 1964 to 1986, making this a scarce and nostalgic collectible from Indian comic history.
The cover presents a bright vintage humor-comic design with strong period color, though this copy shows visible creasing and some fading. Its aged appearance and worn edges reinforce the charm of an older Indian satirical comic preserved from a harder-to-find run.
