Update 10.12.2009: The legendary Govind Brahmania (02.03.1938 ~ 09.12.2009) is no more with us. It's an unrecoverable loss for all Indrajal fans.
His famous works: IJC logo, several Indrajal covers (starting from #1), illustration of Bahadur.
It's opinion of major part of IJC fans that the his COVERS made IJC so popular.

Hello friends! Munna Bhai is back. :)
I was expecting to get more new scans in last 4 months as simple visitor. Seems, all are busy, only I'm free. Just kidding. :)))
Going to import here, all my IJC posts from books and comics blog (and links shall be removed) - for your convenience. Mostly IJC posted by me were cover to cover. Number of IJC is added in every post as tag, it'll be helpful in search.
Before this post, this blog had
113 -English IJC,
4 - in English & Hindi both; and
4 in Hindi only.
There are approx 300+ IJC posted at BC blog . So almost half work will be done.
For me and many my friends, only first round is over. All blogs which provided at least one new IJC are very few, who are not aware about such blogs, can check my blogroll - and download available versions.
Till today, my plan is regularly posting better & new scans only.
Wish to know your opinion:
1. Is their need to add standard resolution link in future? HQ links of future posts are 40-60 MB.
2. Have a look at colour of followings. Which type of pages you'd like to get in future?
All of us read this Indrajal, time to enjoy cover to cover absolutely new version.
003-1964-Phantom- The Challenge of Cannibals- COMPLETE-HR
003-1964-Phantom- The Challenge of Cannibals- COMPLETE-SR
This comic is cleaned like first option.
There are several such issues are coming soon. Have nice reading!
This Indrajal is contributed by Ajay. All credits go to him.
Excellent post and site!
ReplyDeleteDear Prabhat,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for starting to post the cover-to-cover HR IJCs. I love these scans. Are they scanned by yourself or from Ajay?
Oh, I just noticed the last sentence in your post that these were scanned by Ajay. Dont know how I missed it.
ReplyDeleteLove them.. thanks for this. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteExcellent brand new comic.My opinion is HQ links are the best. The second type (Thugs in Denkali) resolution is good.
ReplyDeleteGreat show. Excellent work. Keep it coming. All the best
ReplyDeletethanks for the comic..
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks for another HQ Version, MB & Ajay. HQ's are my alltime favorite, so please continue posting the same. But, nevertheless, also add the SR version, as there may not be many out there who can spare the bandwidth for a higher resolution. I was one among them until a couple of years ago, so can feel the pain of waiting for a long download.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the scan resolution, please maintain the 2nd version, as that keeps the scan in a healthy and extended color, rather than the 1st one which somewhat spoils pixel rates. The 3rd one is nothing better than the usual scan copy.
By the way, when you remove the IJC posts from B&C blog, don't delete them, as deleting the post also means that you will delete all the hardworked comments by our favorite friends. Their time needs to be respected, so please remove the link, and point it to the respective post on MunnaBhai blog. That would be the right thing to do.
Hoping for many more IJC HQs...
By the way, love the template, and also the idea of placing a label widget to list down all IJCs by their number on the sidebar.
ReplyDeleteIt will certainly serve as a quick reference for all those aspiring comic freaks. :)
Dear comics lovers,
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad to inform you people that One of India's greatest ever comics artist Mr Govind Brahmania is No More.

Govind Bramania (02-03-1938 - 09-12-2009) R.I.P
It is really very very sad to know that Mr. Govind 'Bahadur' Brahmania has left for his heavenly abode. May his soul rest in peace. His legend will continue through his creations like Bahadur etc...We all should keep his memory alive.
ReplyDeleteA very sad IJC and Bahadur fan :(
Sad news for one and all, I am planning to honour Mr.Govind Brahmania by posting a Bahadur/Shuja post sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteMy bits for the legacy established by Brahmania Sahab.
May his soul Rest in Peace.
An irreparable loss for all of us.
ReplyDeleteHe was a real Hero.
My condolences to his family.
Rakesh

ReplyDeletei was planning to post a topic on this as he is also the illustrator of King bhima series which were published in tamil in rani comics. many people do not know this.
now that Dr 7 has posted it here (http://akotheeka.blogspot.com/2009/12/blog-post.html), many people will also post.
may Brahmani's Family have the strength to overcome this loss.
Every comics bloggers who frequents IJC blogs, and have been an ardent fan of Indian comics artists work knows that Brahmania sahab is involved in Shuja aka Bhima stories.

I’ll try to clean as you recommend & SR links will be continued.
Going to import all IJC posts with all comments. So nothing will be lost. I’m posting for friends; their opinions are very valuable for me.
