Bengali Diamond-Phantom & Indrajal Cover-Gallery.....

Since I've started blogging ,back in April 2007,allmost 3 years have been passed.This is something which I've never imagined then as I took blogging just for heck which only later became my passion!! :-)

Now,when Diamond Comics took the licence of Phantom/Mandrake from KFS,many fans like me were eagerly waited for that new series.Well,DC-P & DC-M were not that popular as like Indrajal but still DC delivered a fair job for allmost a decade and for them we got more dose of Phantom & Mandrake. Today I'm posting some DC-P(Bengali) covers followed by some vintage Indrajal covers too!! (English DC-P covers I've avoided as those are already available in Prabhat's blog scanned by Ajay.)

Some of following Ijc covers were scanned from one binder and for that reason their numbering couldn't scanned as I don't want to damage that binder.

Will post more such covers in future.....

ENJOY!! :-)

More Bengali Indrajal Covers....

A Republic day special, requested by Prabhat to post on a special day.....between,as next festival day(Doljatra/Holi) is more than 1 month away,so one might expect a new post in between....you never know!! :))
Till then enjoy these rare gems in their Bengali fonts....

Some rare Bengali Indrajal Covers...

Hows life friends?? Hope everybody doing well! And it's the first post in 2010 @this blog-space. :)
Today enjoy some old and rare Bengali Indrajal covers...as some friend mentioned earlier,Bengali Indrajals have it's SPECIAL appeal with nice translations and very catchy titles,like for example,the #19(originally #41 - Veiled Lady) was titled "Obogunthita",which's quite catchy with....just loved these!! :))


MORE TO COME!!

Cheers.....(and well,during scanning I didn't choose any order,rather went randomly whatever I got in my hand and scanned those,started from Bengali Ijc #5 onwards)

Comic #45 & 46:Mandrake Sundailies:Kraken(S156) & Dollmaker(D100)

Subho Bijoya to all friends,fellow bloggers & visitors!! :-)
Today's Gandhi's birthday and tomorrow we'll celebrate Laxmi puja and in order to celebrate these occasions I'm presenting a couple of mandrake strips for all of you!
#1:Kraken(S156) from 1986 which had already appeared in Indrajal comics and all have read already BUT what I'm posting is Unedited b/w version which appeared in a US magazine 2 decades ago...it covers the 1st strip only.Soon I will post the remaining parts!


#2:Dollmaker(D100) from 1958.A old daily which never appeared in Indrajal or any other Indian comics.I can assure that,once you read this strip,you'll wish to re-read it again!! yeah...a old classic filled with thrill,mystery & adventure in each & every panels where the mystery evolved in a old forgotten town:Gynt!Also,this is one of those rare adventures where Mandrake's half-sister Lenore also involved...(Now,when reading this Dollmaker strip,seasoned Phans will find a very prominent similarity with another Classic Falk-Phantom!Well,that's no big surprise as we all know,he frequently used same basic-plot in both Phantom/Mandrake strips....well,some plots were worthy of that and believe me,this current strip is no exception!:) )


Now about d/l links,actually I've uploaded these 5-6 months back and then completely forgot!!Otherwise these post would had appeared much earlier....but as they said,late better than never,so eNjOy!!:_))))

Some Bengali Phantom/Mandrake Covers & vintage Strips...

These are from my old scans which I did few months back!! Besides some vintage Bengali Phantom/Mandrake Indrajal covers,I'm attaching a couple of pages of Bengali Phantom Sundays from a old magazine.....watch out for the fabulous coloring(despite the books are more than 20 years old & I haven't done any editing!!)

Actually,I have planned to scan more such stuffs but my scanner not working since long...hopefully things will be fixed soon!! :-)

eNjOy!!!
