Target's outstanding production values as well as the quality of cartoonists and writers on its editorial board made it stand out from other contemporary Indian children's magazines like Tinkle, Champak and Chandamama.
A popular feature in Target was pages with information on international pen friends. In the age before email revolutionised communication, having pen friends was a popular hobby, both for the purpose of knowing about the world at large, and collecting stamps from foreign countries.
Some of the popular comic strips published in Target were:
- Gardhab Das by Jayanto and Neelabh
- Detective Moochwala and Pooch and Funny World by Ajit Ninan
- Granny's Gupshup by Praloy Chakrovorty
and Joygopal Podder and others
- It Happened in History written by Renuka Narayanan and illustrated by Suddhasattwa Basu.
- Science News illustrated by Priya Nagarajan and others
