NEW IDEAS AND VENTURES

Friends, It is not that I have nothing to post....was thinking of making the blog interesting and a good place for all of you.

I am thinking of posting all Hindi and Marathi versions of the Indrajals here. the only problem in Marathi is, a lot of initial #s are not available....can anyone help?

You can scan and email me, i will do the rest. especially, #1!

Also, suggest me if posting of all 803 comics here can be a good Idea.

Will post a couple of interesting Phantom posts tomm. here. ( non indrajals)

Indrajal V0.26_32_ Flash Gordon

After a jubiliant Phantom post, happily or sadly, but the last Phantom post of Indrajal comics....


One more gap filler sent by our fellow contributor, VENKIT!


Flash Gordon, Volume 26 _32 :The Deadly Intrigue


This comic must be "scanned" by our sensor board as dale & Matara, Zarkov's wife is "popping out" in all the frames :)) ( maybe, like a one-time bollywood heroine, who may not get another chance....:) )


And I dont know how this was passed, but its a "bigg kids" comic!


read and see!!

AUTOGRAPH OF LEE FALK!

My dear Comic fans, Phantom fans, crazy guys from the world over, what would be your reaction, if our idol, the legendary LEE FALK would have interacted with you and to add icing to the cake, send you an autograph ?!?

Yes, this is true, and it is a proud Indian to own it!!

I am thankful to this blog world, I got the opportunity to befriend so many people across India

and the world...so many are holding responsible positions in their fields....

Recently I came across another fan of Phantom and Mandrake via my blog and in the first chat

I came to know he is not just a fan but a person far beyond it!

Mr. V.V. Ramanan, Senior Journalist on Sports Desk, The Hindu

He is a well known quizmaster at The Hindu, where he works on the Sports Desk as a senior journalist. ( I am proud to be part of the print media, being a printing engineer! )

you can read about him here : http://www.hindu.com/ywquiz2008/quizmaster.htm

And now, the main objective of writing about him :

A few days back while chatting, he mentioned that he had an autograph of LEE FALK and he also said he will send it to me scanned to post in my blog!

I requested him to also send me a short writeup about how he interacted with the great legend which i am also posting her in his own words, along with the autographed panel which i think, he is the only Indian who proudly owns it!

AND I COULD NOT RESIST MYSELF ROM COLORING IT!

Here is Ramanan in his own words as to how he got the autograph of 'The Master':

Being a fan of The Phantom and Mandrake, apart from other comic book characters, since childhood, I decided to write to the creator Lee Falk and request him for a personalised autographed panel with one of his creations.

Those were pre-Internet days (very restricted) and I manged to get his address from visiting the U.S. Consulate Library. I wrote a letter full of admiration (as any die-hard of fan would do) and made my request. Since he was doing me a favour, I enclosed a self-addressed envelope.

And lo and behold, 'The Master' responded within a month with the panel that you see in this blog and a letter that thanked me for being a big fan. Even though that letter has gone missing (how careless of me!), I have preserved this panel..and will do so till eternity..it can't die like our costumed heroes :)

I also have signed panel/photos from other wonderful creators like Hank 'Dennis the Menace' Ketcham, Mort 'Beetle Bailey' Walker and Charles 'Peanuts' Schulz. I also have assorted other autographs including all the Indian Nobel Laureates, the Presidents of our great nation, Neil Armstrong, Hillary and Tenzing, etc..

I want to get the autograph of the creator of Bahadur..Can somebody help me out with his contact details..Thanks a million in advance :)

And before I conclude, I want to say to a BIG BIG THANK YOU to fans like Sameer, Prabhat, Venkit, Ajay, Anupam and others (whose names I can't recall) for doing such a wonderful job of scanning and distributing the timeless Indrajal creations for us to go on a nostalgic trip and the younger generation to enjoy..May their tribe increase.

As mentioned in an earlier mail, I am attaching a scan of the panel that Lee Falk autographed for me some 14 years back. It would be niceif you could post it on your blog so that fellow Phantom lovers can enjoy it. Thanks.

and to add to the joy of all phantom lovers, i am posting yet another Phantom Indrajal missing number.....I call this a post of the millenium....my biggest post ever, since it contains a unique AUTOGRAPH of Lee Falk!

Phantom & Mandrake

I am back after a small gap....I am aware many of you regularly visit here as frequently as we read a daily newspaper...but news is getting scarce....but will try to be more frequent from this month now.


I got a list from the net and a few friends..so scanned a Mandrake...volume 24_02...and posting a wolf Phantom #2 to continue the series of 8 wolf comics....


I am also putting up a new offer here as suggested by our friend and fellow contributor Ajay Misra : Those who are interested in having printed Phantom Dailies and Sundays can order me by giving 25% amount and the rest before despatch, so it will make things easier for all.

Those who want only selected nos., can have them as well as if someone wants to take only 15-20 nos per month or so, can have it....no problem.


and for the posts, here you are:

WOLF COMICS : ISSUE#1 : PHANTOM COMIC

When you finish digging oil in desert, don't close your rig...dig in a new place....


old desert saying.....haha...no, it's what I am saying!
I mean to say when Indrajals are over, there are other sources...ofcourse, gold is gold,
but silver also has a precious metal value!

I am posting a new series of Phantom comics published by Wolf Comics.

actually, the Phantom in India was the golden era for Phantom too, as it started from 1964

and continued till 1989, a span of 25 years!! more than 350 stories! and , the publication of wolf comics was only for 1 year!! hats off to Times of India and crazy readers like us all!

This has been scanned by anonymous, my source is Sudhanshu, ICC.
thanks to him and the anonymous!

about the story of wolf comics Phantom, read this : http://www.deepwoods.org/wolf.html

These stories are good, but you need good readers in millions like in India, to make it a hit! :))

what do you feel? please comment on this after reading the comic. I will also post all the 8 issues published from this publication, one by one.

IJC # VOL 24_35 MANDRAKE THE GUILTY MEDDLER

Hey folks, as I said, I will be back with a surprise, I GOT AN INDRAJAL TO POST !!!

The Guilty Meddler ( not PM), he was never guilty, but surely a meddler....but anyways, he is history now....:))

Getting back to the post : This is a nice story, only the characters are not as crisply sketched like the regular Mandrakes....reminding us of the wilsom McCoy Phantom. We needed a character like the guilty meddler at lords to win the T20....( read the story and you will know how )

This is actually THE DISTURBER, reprint of IJC #75 published in 1968, and the original is Mandrake Daily #124

I have scanned these dearly, as the comic i have is in a very delicate condition. I am surprised that my last post, even though after a long gap has harldly any response....dunno why!

And one more announcement : I AM GOING TO PRINT FLASH GORDON STRIPS.. covering 10 years of strips...around 1400-1500 pages....any takers?

let me know, anyways i will make one set for myself!

so enjoy the IJC....

Phantom Marvel

SEE HERE FOR A BIG SURPRISE, BY TOMM........

I PROMISE YOU SOMETHING VERY NICE!!!

I am back after a looong gap again....
digging for some vauables..no, not gold and diamonds, but comics!!
With the Indrajals a rare sight now, almost extinct species,
have to keep up with some thing new! ( got one for you ......!!!! )
Yes, these were the Dinosaurs, the giants of our childhood! today, like the archeologists, I and all comic lovers "dig" and "excavate" old bookstores, libraries, friends, relatives, and be deligted on unearthing any small, torn pages of the Phantom, Mandrake, Flash and Bahadur era....
so enjoy folks, there are a lot of mysteries still to be discovered and I promise you, we will share this wealth always with you!
