Thanks for a double treat, Venkit. Just getting back to normal ways, and need to catch up on all the wonderful posts in all blog entries :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Venkit and Prabhat, after long time getting Silver medal :). Anyway I remember this comic very well. I got the first part from a raddiwalah in 1980s. I had to wait two decades to get physical copy of second. That was the longest wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks Venkit and Prabhat for these comics. Great stories !!!!!

One of my favourite Phantom sagas from Indrajal. Good memories associated with this particular IJC. Thanks a lot Venkit and Prabhat for this version.
ReplyDeleteThank you Venkit & Prabhat!
ReplyDeleteThanks Prabhat and Venkit for these issues. The Floating Space City is very nice Flash story and also few bonus, specially Shehab's Chimpoo in 2nd part.
ReplyDelete@Rafiq Raja: Welcome back on duty! :)
ReplyDelete@IUnknown: Next is bronze ;)
ReplyDeleteMy some sweet memories are also connected with these comics.
@praveen: Two triple comics posts are coming soon, one Hindi and one English.
ReplyDelete@Colonel Worobu: Welcome!
ReplyDelete@Bengali Indrajal Comics: The covers by Shehab ji little disappointed me always because the heroes had funny look. However all cartoons are really superb.
ReplyDelete@The Phantom Head (TPH): Sorry, missed you in sequence. Glad to know your some good memories associated with this particular IJC like us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the good words. I would like to submit a few requests. They are not admonitions or indictments of one or more of the feuding parties and we know there are more than a few feuds going on at present.
ReplyDeleteMy impression was that this consolidated blog was for sharing HQ IJCs under one umbrella, with all IJC bloggers and contributors working towards a friendly sharing of comics. So here goes
01. Can we keep this blog to do just that without any of the personal feuds creeping into the comments?
02. I am pained at the various feuds concurrently running at this point of time. I know that the individuals concerned have their own private blogs. Please fight your private wars in your private blogs.
03. When friends become adversaries, they become worse than enemies and the amount of dirty linen that they wash in public is very nauseating. Neither am I interested in your personal feuds nor do I want to know details of what some of you discussed when you were friends. Please do not drag me or any of the others thru all that.
Let me be very frank. I am scanning comics in HQ so that I can store away these 20 to 40 year old treasures for posterity. I am not sharing the comics with all of you, to be an alternative to Ajay or anyone else. Venkit can never become Ajay or Ajay can never become Venkit. It is almost like denigrating Gandhi to prop up Ambedkar.
No hard feelings. I have kept quiet in the midst of all these feuds. Most of these feuds have risen out of small mis-understandings that could have been easily talked over. Instead of talking it over they resorted to e-mails (in English) and ended up hurting themselves more than they intended and then their egos prevented them from apologizing and thrashing matters out.
Like Obama blaming Bush for even his constipation, we in India put the blame on the British for everything bad. But this is one place where I have to put the blame on English. Somehow I have found that we do not have any problem if anyone points to us that I did not use Tamil properly or Malayalam or Hindi. But if someone points out that my English is bad, I immediately pout and then rant and rave. I have gone thru these long-winded e-mails from the feuding parties, and my first thought has always been - Do these guys even understand half of what they have written in this e-mails?
So my final request to anyone who posts comments in this common blog is only this - PLEASE KEEP THE COMMENTS LIMITED TO THE STORY AND ITS CHARACTERS.
Thanks for listening. I had to write this because I am sad seeing good friends turn into adversaries. I am saddened to note that one of the feuds has caused two good bloggers to suspend their blogging. Hopefully they will return to blogging after working out their differences.
On final note- many people from round the world come to this blog. Let us not make ourselves the laughing stock of the comic book lovers the world over.
Thanks once again. No hard feelings and please no hate mail
I second Venkit thoughts strongly that please don't make these respected blogs as fighting arena.Pl try to resolve indifference between yourself peacefully and by talks as there is nothing which cannot be solved by honest intentions without fighting in public.Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThanks for the scans
I ditto Venkit's comments on the recent tiffs.
Hope harmony returns in the blogsphere
Ciao

@Venkitachalam Subramanian, Comic world, Quizzerix: Can write in Russian and Hindi more correctly, however using my poor English as many can understand. Pls, don't mind.
ReplyDeleteAgree with your points. Really uselessly involved and in anger put some facts. Like you never wished to be a part of any controversy.
Your points are really remarkable & correct, you've my words - all raised points for keeping this blog healthy will be fulfilled no matter who’ll post, who will contribute.
However, requesting to think some my points also. Let us know your views also.
Do you think, there was any personal matter except this blog or members? It was attempt by someone, putting gun at my shoulder and firing. All have value of own time, however my days are 48 hours long, nothing to do in recession. Very few persons know, when I started discussion with bloggers about this blog, someone in my family died, however tried to convince 20+ persons and reached an understanding, find a way to meet max possible expectations of everyone. It was easiest for me to post quickly at my own blog, not attempting for a united blog like this. He was ready to send more and more.
Prabhat was/is with fair contributor/bloggers/persons (no matter where they contribute/post/live) always, NEVER with masked people - even would ready to give all universe. His deeds are worse as he did after opposing same points. Said privately, he himself started misleading instead of changing himself, first to group then in blog. Sad, believed for long.
Kept silence for long in hope someone understand himself, or any other person would stop. But all are good, so I’ve to bad again to show some faces, because some more in future could be trapped in net, would have to go through useless pain like me & later like you. As a human being, I was little involved to defend team in irritation. Sorry!
Never again my family as yours will read mails about others from ONE friend also. Do you think we like? Don’t have time to entertain such guys or solving useless controversy. In future, there will be NO chance starting a drama, which could involve some or many later and those would look like me today.
ARE YOU TAKING RESPONSIBLITIES TO STOP HIM SPOILING ATMOSPHARE? I’ve no time, tried, thanks.
Really this blog has goal for sharing all IJCs scans including HQ under one roof, as well as honouring everyone's effort. Why only HQ scans? It means when the net & the computer speed were slow, in that period who tried (don’t know closely many), did nothing? When someone hadn’t time/opportunity/desire/ technical knowledge, these IJC bloggers posted, their time had no value? Is IJC blogging/scanning copyrights of few? Shall we not promote new generation?
Thought several weeks about reasons behind all previous conflicts, reasons of emerging of several IJC blogs, healthy and unhealthy desire to add at own blog all scans. Reached to the conclusion, if one blog would have all scans with mutual understanding, all members could feel as own blog – the problem was solved. So, did everything convincing to encouraging. I was going to convince one more person, after that talking with last one.
None can replace others, and really no attempt to replace anyone.
Love sharing, nothing wish in return. Whenever see collectively we could achieve better, always try, even giving more energy. I also love comics since last 32 years. Scanning will take less time than convincing anyone. My goal will remain distributing. For me I have comics.
So if required, would go with plan B, i.e. scanning and posting missing/favourite IJCs in English and Hindi, not bad collection I’ve too. Can ask someone in family to send by post here and take back after 2-3 years.
Like I had promised right in the beginning, I will be scanning my physical comics in HQ and sending them to you. I had mentioned HQ only in the context of my scanning them for myself. I am not belittling anybody else's efforts. They were pioneers in their own rights.
ReplyDeleteI am anyway going to scan and save these treasures. I shall be sending a copy to you anyways.
Like I said, I do not have any sides in any of these feuds and I do not want any part. Maybe my note seemed a bit strong. That came forth due to my sorrow, anger and frustration at the so many feuds within this small community of IJC lovers.
If my notes goes at least a small way in bringing peace in the IJC bloggerworld, I would be very pleased.
Till then, I will just continue sharing IJCs.
All the best.
Munnabhai, check ur e-mail. You will be surprised.
ReplyDelete@Venkitachalam Subramanian: Dear Venkit, there is no need to take any side except love for comics. We are not here to fight, but share joy.
ReplyDeleteYou are mature and probably elder than me. Have a look at all blogs in sequence since 2007. Something strange, almost all stopped posting Ajay’s scans with time. Why? Just think whenever possible.
I had similar view as yours. The united blog was created, have a look who stopped posting and when. Only now 2 members were reduced.
Well, this blog’s problem is solved which was more important.
*****************************************************************
Seen lot of people in life, but dual standard person like Ajay never.
I follow some very simple principle:
1. Always need to return with percent.
2. Always need to talk in language, people understand.
Don’t worry, I’ll solve very soon myself and not at this blog.
I second Venkit's comments, and he has plucked the words out of my mouth, and probably my mind.
ReplyDeleteLet the harmony resort to good old days, and let's enjoy the wonderful world of comics, to all its beauty.
@Rafiq Raja: In fact, my view is same as yours and Venkit. Thankful to him for his proper guidance at time.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to enjoy comics and sharing process as 2008, decided for myself. Speed might be slower, but attitude & spirit will be same.
Could you post these in mediafire. My connection is GPRS and rapidshare gives lot of problems. Hell, I could not download even a single one of them. Please, if possible, post them in mediafire as well.
ReplyDelete@Jewel I'll try.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you at least took the pain to reply. I'm sure i'll be able to enjoy the comics shortly. For that, I want to thank you in advance.
