Indira Publishing

Indira was an Indonesian publisher of books and comic books. They may have been founded in 1953.[1] They closed in 2006.[1][2]

Indira licensed the Tintin comics in 1975, and continued to print them until 1996. [3] They translated the series into Bahasa Indonesia, basing their translation on the English-language translations.[2] The Indira editions of the Tintin comics are now prized by Indonesian Tintin collectors; many collectors see their editions as being higher quality than the modern editions, citing translation differences, the lack of hand lettered text, and sturdier build quality. [2]

Indira was known for reprinting and translating European comics into Bahasa Indonesia, particularly Belgian comics. They translated and published the Valérian and Laureline comics,[1] the Smurfs comics, and the Asterix comics.

Indira also published some print books, including books in the Nancy Drew series and the Hardy Boys series.[4][5]
