Comic #128 : Modesty Blaise in BENGALI - "সঙ্ঘ"(La Machine) - ৫ম পর্ব (Part-5)

The Final part..

Now you can read the complete Bengali version of the first Modesty Blaise adventure. 

(For the old posts, just browse through the blog archive.)

By the way, I know many fans read comics/other reading materials on the mobile, mostly due to quick access/absence of the pc etc, but if you have pc/tab, then I will suggest you to read the complete story on those devices than on mobile - mostly because the source-material(scan) quality was not great(I have used an old scanned version available on net) AND while reading on mobile, that is little more evident but same strips look fine on the pc etc. Just a suggestion.

Comic #125 - Frank Frazetta's Comic - Too Late For Love (in dual versions)

 For a change, I'm posting Frank Frazetta's one of the vintage comics. This one is from 1954. In this post, you are going to read dual versions of same comic - side by side - one in original b&w work by the artist & another from the colored pages of the book it was originally published.

Now, if you look at the art closely, you will find out that many of those subtle, fine lines drawn by the artist were lost/smudged into crude, thick lines in the colored book version. All this happened due to the old printing process, specially when they were printing something in color on cheap papers. So, the b&w version will serve you the authentic/original look of the comic, while the colored version has it's own appeal. SO reading both versions side by side is like having "best of the both worlds".

This comic, along with many more, were printed in the art book on the artist : Sensuous Frazetta, where ~80 pages were dedicated to such comics by him & rest of the books were filled with his beautiful and mostly adult arts, sketches, interviews and short biography. Nowadays, many a art books are carrying b&w comics drawn by the artists, mostly shot from the original pages. 

I have tried to represent the comic exactly as appeared in the book, but I should admit that art looks much better in the physical copy than the scanned version.

Comic #124 : Modesty Blaise in BENGALI - "সঙ্ঘ"(La Machine) - ২য় পর্ব (Part-2)

This is an attempt to translate Modesty Blaise daily strips in Bengali and it's always best to start from the origin story - titled "La Machine". 

I will post the whole story in a few parts.  The first part already has made available.

Comic #123 : Modesty Blaise in BENGALI - "সঙ্ঘ"(La Machine) - ১ম পর্ব (Part-1)

 This is an attempt to translate Modesty Blaise daily strips in Bengali (details already given in this fb group post) and it's always best to start from the origin story - titled "La Machine".

 There are some famous series where basic setting & explanation of the origin etc were given in the subsequent stories, primarily because creators couldn't fully envisioned the basic set-up when they were scripting the first story.
 And then, there are some series where almost every major aspects were explained in the very first story, and then maintained throughout the series with some secondary changes/introductions. Modesty Blaise falls in the second category, and hence reading this origin story is very important to understand the basic theme and mood of the series. Once you have done with this story, it won't matter whether you are going to read the very next story or the 20th story, or even some from the later run!

I will post the whole story in a few parts.

I love Modesty & Willie's adventures, how J.Holdaway portrayed them and how Mr. Donnell scripted the stories. And every time I read them, I wished these strips were available in Bengali. 

I do hope you will like this version.
