Thanks you all,,,will put those scans soon ,,,may be sooner than later we'll complete DC-M Index with support from you guys! :D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello friends, after a long time,eh!! :-)
From the last few months I am preparing an INDEX of Diamond Mandrake published by DC(Ind) in 1992-2000 era! They had published 86 issues among those 30+ issues were simply re-print of earlier issues. I've prepared a list based on infos from my own collection and other fan's help like Peder,Ajay,Anurag etc and with their help,till now I've managed to collect information of 70+ issues, i.e. only 13/14 are left to be identified!! :-)
My request is ,to ALL those visitors/fans who have these following issues,please come forward and share necessary infos in order to complete the Index!

Those are :DC #72, 75, 78, 79, 82, 83, 85, 86
By the way, in this process,I'd requested some fans who claimed to have some of these missing DCs,,but somehow they are not interested to share even few statistics (i.e. Strip title,number of stories etc)..
I hope there are still some fans who have these books and "willing" to share....
Ajay/Anurag have supplied whatever with them,so I request others to come forward,if have any of those Numbers.... :-)
Thanks in advance....
And finally,here's few DC-Mandrake covers for you enjoyment(scans from Ajay,Anurag & myself)...and Cover-wise I've managed to get 65+ covers scans till now!:-)

Comic #37:Cheryl Blossom (ARCHIE):The Beach Blanket Blossom(1995)

Hello dudes!After that cover-post ,here is one freshly scanned exciting yet fun-filled adventure from Archie comics starring CHERYL BLOSSOM! :-) It was due to her presence,Archie comics got tremendous success in the '80s but after some years Cheryl was 'banned' due to the explicit scenes/dialogues(!) & in expert's version "too much sensual effect for teenagers(for American teens!!;-)".
But even after all these,Cheryl made a come back on '94,after a remarkable demands from fans! :-) By the way,Cheryl has a twin brother, Jason, an arrogant rival of Archie and suitor of Betty. Jason is smitten with Betty, despite claiming that he only dates rich girls.
This one(Beach Blanket Blossom) is from '95 where Archie & Cheryl were engaged in naughty beach-fun but ouch!! Veronica saw them and then.... ;-)
READ IT BY YOUR SELF and let me know whether you loved this...ENJOY!! :-)

NOW,enjoy some rare & vintage Diamond Mandrake covers,most of which having Post-Ijc strips(1990-95)!Comics will be scanned in due course of time!:-)

Required: Diamond Mandrake Titles!

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! :-)
