Comic #108 - A Post-Indrajal Phantom Sunday(Capt. Amazon - Pirate Queen; 1989)

                                        HAPPY VIJAYADASHAMI TO ALL
 Enjoy a old Phantom strip(S134) in color and in Bengali. In this tale of 5th Phantom(aka Aranyadev), it has been shown how a gentle,beautiful lady transformed in a dreaded pirate queen - Captain Amazon! Later she became the wife of 5th Phantom!
 The most famous quote(of Juliet) probably was "Call us pirates! Then we'll be Pirates"!!

Between,the colored pages are from famous magazine Desh. This strip ran for 24 weeks but I have only 18 sundays till now,missing remaining 6..
 So I did two things,firstly used English b/w strips to fill the gap and then translated those in Bengali. Hopefully you will like the effort!(I have tried to bring the feel of Desh in those pages albeit the colors! as unfortunately I have the b/w English version only.)
 And for the Indrajal addicts, this is a special strip as with this one,the Post-Indrajal era was started off (the last sunday appeared in Indrajal was S133 "Death from the Sky"  in Vol.26 No.41). Had Indrajal survived for another extra month,we might had this very nice story in the pages of one of the most famous comic-magazines

 There were 45 Phantom sundailies(by Falk) from the Post-Ijc era but only very few were worth reading....this one was among those very few!
A translated page....b/w scan is from Frew 1465....

FREW Phantom : Preview of Samaris(by Felmang) & Others...

Hello again!! Quick post, as promised... :-) And as I have mentioned in the previous post, this time I will bring something completely unique in this blog :FREW Phantom! This time, for a change, enjoy some classic FREW-Phantom Covers. Few months back I got many FREW old issues(& few Moonstone/Pioneers) through exchanging with Aussie friends and I specifically choose Egmont-Phantom stories as already I have ALL Falk-Phantom Sundailies in form of nice printed B/W book-format(well known) as well as in form of several vintage Indrajal/DC-P colored versions. 
Of late, some Falk-classics were re-drawn by famous Phantom artist Felmang whose illustration is quite similar with legendary Sy Barry and loved by most ardent Phans! :-) Among all re-drawns, Queen Samaris XII(S059) was the most famous one(followed by Tiger Girl which was eventually published by Egmont(Ind) in colored version, wayback in 2000) and published in FREW too(#1070). For the visitors, I'm posting some selected page-scans from that book with nice glossy cover(a rare thing from FREW). As someone told me,few page scans fall under "fair use policy" so hope it'll be ok! 
Some other covers also posted as well.... MORE will follow...... ENJOY :-)
