1. With all above-mentioned comics, 22 miscellaneous comics were published: - First issue #33 (1966), Last issue #368 (1981).
2. I had counted the numbers of total comics by a hero - main tittle only. To find out exact quantity, one must check 2nd stories also. Many times the front covers were printed without any information about 2nd story hero. Many stories were printed in 2 or 3 parts also.
All credits for these 22 new scans go to Ajnaabi. Many many thanks to him.
Hope, this will fulfill the gap of regular IJC posts for sometimes.
