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!:-)

Conversation #1 :Between crook Bart and The Phantom ....

Comic #38:Dara-Indrajal:The Drug Barons(V26 N26;1989)

Hello Friends, I've just freshly scanned a Indrajal for your enjoyment & what could be the best fitted for the beginning??Of course a Dara-Indrajal!! SO CHEERS!:-)

It's one of the best titles of this Indian secret spy, dealt with the most dangerous issue back then in the '80s i.e. drug smugglers! I read it for the first time in '89 & was very much excited!! Also Pradeep Sathe's illustrations was awesome - specially I loved those scenes associated with the deep jungles and animal sanctuary! 

Hope you guys also love this, let me know what you feel! :-) And I've scanned ALL 32 pages and posted in our conventional On-Line manner...

READ ON!!
