Just like the previous post, these strips were also reprinted in the Bengali newspaper <i>Jugantar</i>. </p><p>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 <i>ToI</i> 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.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">-----------------------------------</span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;

This book has several b&w cover-arts by DS and some of his complete b&w comics - directly shot from the original pages. <b>"Princess Pam"</b> - a sci-fi take of the <i>Snow White</i> fantasy - was one of those. This was an one-off short comic originally published in the Alien World #4.

color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Since her debut in the '60s, Modesty & Willie's adventures were reprinted by several publishers, sometimes parallelly under different series by the same publisher.</span></span></p><div class="bi6gxh9e" style="background-color: white;

And the irony is, one of the lowest quality reproductions are also from another Titan series : their <span style="font-weight: 600;">2nd series</span> from 2004-17. At least the first 20 volumes of total 30-volume series have suffered from very bad source materials. Clearly, they didn't use their original source material and whatever they got, was always below par, except occasional good/decent strips. However, from #21 onwards, the majority of the strips were reproduced from the high-quality material, but by then all major/ground-breaking stories were already told.</span></span></div><div class="bi6gxh9e" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After these, <span style="font-weight: 600;">Comics Revue(CR)</span> magazine & it's <span style="font-weight: 600;">MB quarterly</span>, Ken Pierce's <span style="font-weight: 600;">1st American series</span> - all have mostly decent reproduction, albeit the occasional glitch.

While the first 131 strips were already available long time ago, and as strips from D119-153 were reprinted in the <i>Indrajal Comics</i> in English & other regional languages, so only those <i>post-Indrajal</i> strips were left to be tracked down<i>(except few of those were reprinted elsewhere/e-vers posted online)</i>. And this has been finally achieved within the last few months, so I thank every person involved in the whole process of finding and sharing these too elusive strips!</p><p>You can <a href="https://newspapercomicstripsblog.wordpress.com/2016/04/02/rip-kirby/" target="_blank">download all from this fine site</a>, if not already have done.</p><p>Now, the <i>quality </i>of the strips, specifically of those later ones, are only 'readable' but that's ok, as it was primarily required to have <b>all </b>RK strips at least, and now that has been done, hopefully better quality strips will be tracked down eventually! The current publisher of the RK strips, <b>IDW </b>has released 11 volumes(D1-103) till now, and still <i><b>9 volumes</b></i> are <u>required</u> to complete the whole run - i.e. total 20 volumes. Few months ago, publisher <i>Dean Mullaney</i> told me via mail that they have no immediate plans for next RK volumes - probably due to the ongoing pandemic situation - and hence we can safely assume that we have to rely on the online strips for the <i>post-Indrajal</i> period(<b>D154-197</b>) for quite sometime, if not forever!</p><p>------------------------------</p><p>Few years ago, much before all of these happened, I have had culled out last RK-Indrajal & few post-Indrajal strips(<b>D153-155, 157</b>) from a USA newspaper's archive. I have previously shared these & now re-sharing here. Plus, there was an old blogger who have shared few more(<b>D159 & onwards</b>) from his own newspaper cutting<i>(although majority were incomplete)</i>. Quality wise, these are slightly better(and in places, inferior too!) than the above lot, and definitely fall under "readable" quality too, but there is no harm having a 2nd version of these rare strips<i>(plus, you will find few "missing dates" from that lot in this version).</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This one is from 1954. In this post, you are going to read dual versions of same comic - side by side - one in <b>original b&w</b> work by the artist & another from the <b>colored pages</b> of the book it was originally published.</p><p>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".</p><p>This comic, along with many more, were printed in the art book on the artist : <i><b>Sensuous Frazetta</b></i>, 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. </p><p>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.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggAwRXz9z949rEfHLuIehv-pYwG-biZivVZfCpQoyeXAYfwNLRJTP_G0AiN_9l4MW030IkMB4D8LDzi4uyX1ORbveE5Kk8Cw0rK4aDfJf1oTGQC0k114RL8RWsLVnhw7UDojJHvse32Nt5/s2048/CamScanner+07-30-2020+12.18.11_1.jpg" style="display: inline !important; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="2048" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggAwRXz9z949rEfHLuIehv-pYwG-biZivVZfCpQoyeXAYfwNLRJTP_G0AiN_9l4MW030IkMB4D8LDzi4uyX1ORbveE5Kk8Cw0rK4aDfJf1oTGQC0k114RL8RWsLVnhw7UDojJHvse32Nt5/w512-h334/CamScanner+07-30-2020+12.18.11_1.jpg" width="512" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0_ezR_ORu27klP7AahBISJIkAJ7qhPFpJBa0F67PgFR2UcWlkiCPkCxy4DlzNdI9iGY0J5LMeqr2EzhUpUKP8oF6kwAt2C9mPnvTIAIjTqxAJ06J2J_lyJJGTmCJYWMk-ZN4auiz5IMp/s2048/CamScanner+07-30-2020+12.18.11_4.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1419" data-original-width="2048" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0_ezR_ORu27klP7AahBISJIkAJ7qhPFpJBa0F67PgFR2UcWlkiCPkCxy4DlzNdI9iGY0J5LMeqr2EzhUpUKP8oF6kwAt2C9mPnvTIAIjTqxAJ06J2J_lyJJGTmCJYWMk-ZN4auiz5IMp/w512-h354/CamScanner+07-30-2020+12.18.11_4.jpg" width="512" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0_ezR_ORu27klP7AahBISJIkAJ7qhPFpJBa0F67PgFR2UcWlkiCPkCxy4DlzNdI9iGY0J5LMeqr2EzhUpUKP8oF6kwAt2C9mPnvTIAIjTqxAJ06J2J_lyJJGTmCJYWMk-ZN4auiz5IMp/s2048/CamScanner+07-30-2020+12.18.11_4.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"></a><p style="color: black;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0_ezR_ORu27klP7AahBISJIkAJ7qhPFpJBa0F67PgFR2UcWlkiCPkCxy4DlzNdI9iGY0J5LMeqr2EzhUpUKP8oF6kwAt2C9mPnvTIAIjTqxAJ06J2J_lyJJGTmCJYWMk-ZN4auiz5IMp/s2048/CamScanner+07-30-2020+12.18.11_4.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"></a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/nawnzd98151uakk/Too+Late+For+Love+(Comics+by+Frank+Frazetta).rar/file" target="_blank"><b>DOWNLOAD </b>Too Late For Love<i>(in dual versions)</i></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPWxeo6LSG9FxpVXfStto3YfkrBgCTXAE1EySkDkZ6QW3_84GAKdhWeK_Z2H5QFZEJSrrCJuWbwDGRV39AfzSgv-gqrgZPY2t65d0FcSnHhbi6XZKCoptxJ0Nd_TCE66p2aBiQYTV9Y1Eb/s2048/Cover+of+%2527Sensuous+Frazetta%2527_1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1562" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPWxeo6LSG9FxpVXfStto3YfkrBgCTXAE1EySkDkZ6QW3_84GAKdhWeK_Z2H5QFZEJSrrCJuWbwDGRV39AfzSgv-gqrgZPY2t65d0FcSnHhbi6XZKCoptxJ0Nd_TCE66p2aBiQYTV9Y1Eb/w312-h410/Cover+of+%2527Sensuous+Frazetta%2527_1.jpg" width="312" /></a></div></div></div>HojOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07025339354921022988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877993957135490623.post-195471066493314932020-08-06T13:28:00.000+05:302020-08-14T21:08:44.795+05:30Comic #124 : Modesty Blaise in BENGALI - "সঙ্ঘ"(La Machine) - ২য় পর্ব (Part-2)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> And then, there are some series where <i>almost </i>every major aspects were explained in the very first story, and then maintained throughout the series with some secondary changes/introductions. <b>Modesty Blaise</b> falls in the second category, and hence reading this <i>origin story</i> 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!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I will post the whole story in a few parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love Modesty & Willie's adventures, how <i>J.Holdaway</i> portrayed them and how <i>Mr. Donnell</i> scripted the stories. And every time I read them, I wished these strips were available in Bengali. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I do hope you will like this version.</span></div>

<i><br /></i>
<i>The Garden of the Inca</i> was originally published in the early '70s newspapers,when <i><b>Indrajal Comics</b></i> was very much in the business. But for some unknown reason,<i>Times of India</i> skipped this in their comic-magazine and hence it was missed by all Indian fans incld. the Bengali readers...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here it is in Bengali,translated from the original English version<i>(colored strips are courtesy of Magnus).</i><br />

This time I have tried bit different thing with the fonts.Actually, have used my own <i>hand-written fonts</i> for this entire comic-strip,much like what we have seen in the old comic-books.This was probably not done before in the blogs, so I thought this would be better.<br />
Personally,I can take both as was introduced/grew-up with both types almost parallelly,but the vintage hand-written one has some different charm,the reason why I did this...!<i>(I have experimented with different inks for the lettering but as it turned out finally that only black and blue inks are most suitable after the scanning,so I have used only these two inks in the whole run.)</i></div>

<br />
<b>@<u>All visitors and fellow blogger friends</u> :</b> After almost 8 years been in the blogging,I have finally decided to call it a day! That is,<b>this post is going to be my last post as a blogger</b> and that incld. my other two blogs aswell(the <i>comic-cum-literature blog</i> exclusively in Bengali : <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://bengalitreasuretrove.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Bengali Treasure-Trove(BTT)</a></span></b> and the <i>social-blog</i> where I have been quite irregular anyway : <b><span style="color: lime;"><a href="http://abloggerdiary.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">fly by..</a></span></b> ).<br />
<br />
While there will be no new posts in these blogs,I will keep them open so visitors,specially the newer ones, can access the long archives..<br />
Overall it was an eventful journey in these<b> 95</b> months with <b>202</b> posts(at this blog) and <b>255</b> posts(in total,incld. some mirrors) which I have enjoyed quite a bit,and that was due to some quality visitors and bloggers with whom over the years I have shared quite friendly relation at blogs/mail/chat/fb and with some, personally as well!<i> (While there will be no new post @blogs,I will active in FB,specially at this group : <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/icc.collectors/" target="_blank">Indrajal Collectors' Club(ICC)</a></b> and will post time to time!)</i><br />
<br />
Once again,many THANKS for your regular visits and the in-depth comments that motivated me to continue blogging this far amidst all the problems...<br />

<b>Take Care and GOOD BYE! :-)</b></div>

1980's was a period when a number of Bengali comic-series were introduced with the reader,majorly translated version of Western comics,and few were local creation! Majority of the series were promising but short-lived,and one of those was <i><b>Ranjan's Classics</b></i>. I have only 3 of this series(No.1,2 & 3) so have no idea about how many issues were released before the cancellation!<br />
Anyway,'<b><span style="color: red;">Kalankito Chora</span></b>' is a decent read supported by quality art, was translated by <i style="font-weight: bold;">Sriavi Ashoke, </i>but there is no mention of the original artist and script-writer.<br />

The latest on-going <b><i>Tarzan daily</i></b> at the Bengali newspaper : BARTAMAN, ends on 22.10.2014. This was a re-run<b> </b>of an old,vintage daily <i>Tarzan Meets Countess Oro</i> from <b>1965</b>.<br />
<br />
Now as the story approaches to the conclusion,you will find how <b>Countess Oro</b> will reunite with <b>ITO(ইটো)</b> - her son,lost 5 years ago thru a tragedy! When <i>Rex,the foster-child of Betal,</i> learnt his origin,he had to go back to his ancestral place,<i>Baronkhan</i>, leaving Deepwoods & Castle-in-Air. But here <i>Countess Oro</i> herself left her place to join with her only son at the <i>Wasiri National Park</i>,the new home of ITO since he regained his sense...and as indicates,she will spent her rst of the life there.<br />
Of course,she finds a very special friend in <i>Peter Crisp</i>,the commissioner of that park! <b>:-)</b> Overall, a fine ending of a tragic tale...<br />
<br />

A strange thing happened when the publisher have omitted the next strip - <i>Chinese Plot</i> - in this reprint-series and started off from the later story(<span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>The Castle in the Jungle/D149</i></span></span>). Same happened in the English version as well,as you can see that after strip <b>#8030</b>,the next strip was <b>#8115, </b>published on 22.10.14 and 23.10.14<b>,</b>respectively(while <i>Chinese </i><i>Plot</i> ran between #<b>8031</b>-<b>8114</b>).<br />

<br />
One of the possible reasons of this omission was the 'nature' of the story.A fabulous plot,fine art but a major racist angle was used where Chinese people shown quite in poor light.It has been shown how a Chinese woman(an invader) killed her English husband etc..So this controversial story has been omitted from this reprint series.<br />
But then we can always read the 'original' strips,not at best quality,but the only way.<br />
I thought it will be unfair for crazy fans of <i>John Celardo's</i> Tarzan if they miss this one! So here it is...<br />

By the way,this is the <b>200th post </b>of this blog,on it's 8th year. It took bit more than seven-and-half years to complete this landmark,in an <i>average </i>two posts per month...not bad,eh?? ;o) It was not possible unless there were some enthusiastic fellow bloggers and some quality visitors who regularly kept visiting this blog,and hence thanks to all of them!! :-)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In my blogging period I have observed many blogs,the variety of posts,scans etc but frequency-wise there are majorly two groups.The most common ones are fall in the category of <i>magazine</i>-<i>like frequency </i>i.e. there is a certain <i>average </i>gap between two posts,that may be weekly, fortnightly or monthly!Few are even slower,varied from tri-monthly to half-yearly.The common part is, most of these bloggers usually serve long and detail posts,with many information alongwith the download link of books/comics etc. Visitors search these posts and keep coming back even years after the original posting.</div>
<div>
And then, there is a 2nd kind(very few): <i>newspaper</i>-<i>type!</i> Like newspapers do arrive daily-basis,their posts do get published at the blogs <i>almost </i>daily-basis! :-) They are usually bit on hurry,and while few of them can produce nice write-ups amidst those fast posting,almost all hardly write much!Anyway,I can take both kind...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes,in my free-time I do visit the years' old posts of many of my old blogger-friends(TCP/ICC/CW/PBC/Mandrake-blog etc) or relatively newer ones(MS-blog/Rafiqs' etc) and my own blogs' archive aswell.The years old posts,the detail/in-depth comments from the various visitors, all serve a very good moment and help to relieve the old days!<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
And I guess many visitors do the same,ain't?? :-)<br />

Finally,spot the difference between these <i>two </i>strips ;-) :<br />

One of the vintage and rare RIP KIRBY dailies from the period of '70s. Recently I have received many a rare RK dailies from a friend, who sent me those links as a friendly gesture, but obviously for personal use only. So while I wouldn't post those links at this blog, I am doing this just as an exception.<br />
<div>
This story - <i>The Hunt for Cinderella </i>- was appeared in Bengali in one of the teen-mag's Puja-annual(Anandamela 1981) and as the history suggests, it is the only <i>Goyenda Rip </i>adventure ever published in that magazine!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So it's quite special and while I yet to read the Bengali version, have enjoyed this original English version and hopefully, you will feel same way! <i>(I have already shared this strip at a Anandamela related FB group,but as not many visitors follow those groups,here it is for all)</i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;"> In this post,you will find why these "<b>elite</b>-<b>class frauds</b>" are getting so much profit,because most of failed to <u>identify</u> them as sellers and hence they are doing hell lot of "help" towards genuine lovers by selling comics at <u>absurdly high</u> price,AND AT THE SAME TIME, pretending as a true lover of comics/books/literature in general!! :-)</span></i><br />
----------------<br />
Since last 5-7 years I have had heard many fans high-pricy affair regarding Indrajal...that is,they have paid very hefty amount to the sellers(actually,black-marketers) for some rare Indrajal...<br />

Some have paid @300/- for #200-299 range of Indrajal,some paid 2-3000/issue for below #100....and then stories of 5-10000 for the #1 are common!!<br />
Personally,I don't like these kind of price....yes,I understand these are rare and myself is pretty crazy about these books,but avoided th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ose sellers just to not let myself fooled by them!!<br />I have some ~750 single Ijc(plus 100++ different language versions of same issue) but never have paid more than 50/- per issue except only one,the Marathi version of No.1 Bengali Indrajal(Scarlet Sorceress/Jan'66),for which I paid 100/- <i class="_4-k1 img sp_CHjQ01Xff48 sx_6db290" style="background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yu/r/Vz2DDr8B8FU.png); background-position: 0px -7999px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i> although I am still buying Indrajals.This is possible because amidst all these blackers,there are some good sellers who will ask price which is high,BUT NEVER absurd!</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px 0px 6px;">
Honestly,Indrajal is my PASSION,but for them a way of PROFESSION....so why allow them to emotionally black-mail you??</div>

Then there are majorly<b> 2 types of 'BLACKERS'</b>...one is direct,they don't hide that they are doing business....but then 2<span style="line-height: 1.38;">n</span><span style="line-height: 1.38;">d</span><span style="line-height: 1.38;"> kind,<u>the most dangerous and double-standard one</u>...they pose as "true lover of Indrajal",will brag about their liking of many stories(even do blogging,posted scans etc) BUT underneath <u>they are greedy frauds who will sell @very very high price</u>,much more than what actual seller will ask you!!THEY COLLECT Indrajal FOR SOLE PURPOSE of SELLING but will NEVER ADMIT that!!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 6px 0px;">
I would like to say that,we should avoid such persons,specially the 2nd kind,for our own benefit....In Bengali,we call these type of frauds as<i><b> "Bhodrobeshi Jocchor".</b></i>...</div>

<b><span style="color: blue;">IF YOU HAVE LUCK YOU WILL GET YOUR MISSING Indrajal,SO PLEASE DO NOT PANIC - HAVE PATIENCE!</span></b><br />

<i><span style="font-weight: normal;">JUST Beware of these FRAUDS(there are </span><b>many known one</b>....incld. few <b>bloggers </b>as well AND a so-called lovers.The common and most infamous one is from <b>Delhi</b>.And another one is from my own city,Kolkata,some <b>Mr.Paul</b>,who has befriended with many 'idiot' collectors and have cheated them!! He used to ask @2000/issue at the QUICKER - the book-selling site.Later I have exposed him and since then,I NEVER have seen him in blog-world! But these are like weeds,who won't die so easily..someone whose family earning is below 20K/month, has been so much bewitched by him that agreed to pay 4-5K if this fraud will help him to get #1 Bengali Indrajal!!!JUST IMAGINE...these frauds don't have little conscience too!!)</i></div>
