It's well known fact that,
Diamond Comics(India) had published
~90 Mandrake Digests containing only
Falk's Daily strips(and NO Sundays) between
1960 -1993 & in an
all most unedited version!
Now, when I went through my collection it has appeared that some Mandrake stories were published in parts(
without any mention) n thus one can't read the complete story unless having the concluding parts! Also,there's NO
Mandrake title lists(published in DC) are available ....so,my question is,does anybody have a
complete/incomplete list of
Mandrake strips published in DC(
wid the #s in which part-II had published)??
All though
most strips published in
DC Mandrake(
D107 -D214;excluding a few strips) had appeared in
Indrajal Comics(
D113,D123- D202 & S101, S111 -S160) earlier,it
wud be great help if someone can provide one! :-)

Sagnik, I remember reading some of those Diamond Mandrakes - some of their comics sucked...the last page/panel would be just written words....they wouldn't even present any pictures/artwork there. So, I don't know why they did so.
BTW - why do you have word verification now? It makes it very hard to post any comments.
