Comic #138-139 : Two FG sundays from the late '70s in Bengali

 In this post you will read a couple of late '70s Flash Gordon sundays in Bengali, both were reprinted in Indrajal Comics under a single title "হারিয়ে যাওয়া মহাদেশ" in 1988. Just like the previous post, these strips were also reprinted in the Bengali newspaper Jugantar

Just one thing to keep in mind that, while these are the official version but not complete i.e. drop-panels(two left-side panels) were not included in this version. As a result, many of such 'drop' panels are available in the Indrajal as ToI did use the whole strip, even though the story was little edited to fit in their book-format. The fans who have this Indrajal issue, can easily compare these two versions.
