The latest on-going
Tarzan daily at the Bengali newspaper : BARTAMAN, ends on 22.10.2014. This was a re-run
of an old,vintage daily
Tarzan Meets Countess Oro from
1965.
Now as the story approaches to the conclusion,you will find how
Countess Oro will reunite with
ITO(ইটো) - her son,lost 5 years ago thru a tragedy! When
Rex,the foster-child of Betal, learnt his origin,he had to go back to his ancestral place,
Baronkhan, leaving Deepwoods & Castle-in-Air. But here
Countess Oro herself left her place to join with her only son at the
Wasiri National Park,the new home of ITO since he regained his sense...and as indicates,she will spent her rst of the life there.
Of course,she finds a very special friend in
Peter Crisp,the commissioner of that park!
:-) Overall, a fine ending of a tragic tale...
I have already posted the
Part-I and here is the remaining part...
----------------------------
A strange thing happened when the publisher have omitted the next strip -
Chinese Plot - in this reprint-series and started off from the later story(
The Castle in the Jungle/D149). Same happened in the English version as well,as you can see that after strip
#8030,the next strip was
#8115, published on 22.10.14 and 23.10.14
,respectively(while
Chinese Plot ran between #
8031-
8114).
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.
But then we can always read the 'original' strips,not at best quality,but the only way.
I thought it will be unfair for crazy fans of
John Celardo's Tarzan if they miss this one! So here it is...
-----------------------------
By the way,this is the
200th post of this blog,on it's 8th year. It took bit more than seven-and-half years to complete this landmark,in an
average 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!! :-)
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 magazine-like frequency i.e. there is a certain average 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.
And then, there is a 2nd kind(very few): newspaper-type! Like newspapers do arrive daily-basis,their posts do get published at the blogs almost 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...
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!
And I guess many visitors do the same,ain't?? :-)

two strips ;-) :
