"The NEXT BEST thing to a LIVE Thriller"....

....remember this famous caption of Indrajal Comics in the late '80s??(though it was applicable rightly from the beganning!!!isn't it ,friends??:o) )

Being an ardent Indrajal fan,I've cherished every bit of these 'long lost' gems!!! Thus,it's NOT only the original 'comic-pages' but those ads/other stuffs do matter for me a lot! :-)

In short,each & every "Indrajal Pages" are 'priceless gems' for us! Isn't it friends???

From the last few days,I was just curious how many "Indrajal-pages" were published in TOTAL(incld.those Covers/Ads/Features etc besides the original comics ) in those 803 issues!

So I'd looked in this matter more seriously & matter of fact,after bit research I delighted to learn the exact 'figure'(wid some interesting stuffs too!!) .....it's simply amazing, friends!:o)

Now,while the first 28 issues(Ijc No.1 -No.28) were contained 28 pages each(allthough first 10 issues contained 16-page comic each,while next 18 issues were 20-24 pages each of same...rest pages were filled wid some G.K. kinda stuffs!).Then Indrajals were published in conventional & most familiar 32-page format (except one 'bumper' issue,No.49 of 48 pages!)which ran for more than 23 years(Ijc No.29 -No.788/Vol.26 No.32) and it covers 757 issues(out of total 803) !!So it's pretty clear that this 32-page format was almost a characteristic features of this amazing comic-series!

Then in August 1989,i.e. just before 8-9 months of cancelation their series,ToI briefly converted Indrajal Comics in a 36-pager(Vol.26 No.33/No.789 - V27 No.8/No.805) which includes last 17 issues!

So,numerically the TOTAL 'Indrajal Pages' are 25,668(for a TOTAL 803 issues) !!!!

Wow!! A HUGEEEE TREASURE!!ain't??? :o)

Personally,I don't prefer to collect books/comics just for sake of collection(i.e. not intend to read actually).That's the reason why I'd rejected most of the times those B-graded Buz/Garth/Nomad/Corrigan etc with crappy Charlton/King-Phantom/Mandrake/Flash which covers more than 170 Indrajals!Well,I'd collected some of these(~50) to find-out the essence,but I was really disappointed! :-(

But,NOT NOW onwards!!!!! ;O)) Things have been changed quite a lot in the last few months & nowadays I'm looking for any Indrajals which are missing(irespective of titles/heroes) from my collection(physical) or even those I've as cover-less,i.e. missing those 4-page front/back covers! Allthough I don regret much for not taking those(B-grade etc) ,as surely I'll not read them anyway,even if I get them(still ,a few exceptions are bound to happen ) ;).

But obviously I will check those 'other' stuffs like various ads & Henries(love it,love it,love it!!!)/Chimpoo/Babua etc cartoons & of'cos Timpa Comics(loved this kid-detective series!!) ....even in IJC's last days,that funny Agent003(comic-Bond!).Then,there are many various informative-yet-mindblowing Features like Riplies(simply wow!!!) or Capries(Fans loved it's funny dispalys wid 'amazing infos' in each of it's 45 pages!!) or World's tale(Fans mostly loved it's infos on 'Jurasic periods'....ohh,art-work also fabulous wid great write-up!) and many more which are no less important/nosatlgic for us!!!:o)

Between,talking about my 'newly' found addiction/motto(to collect ALL Ijcs 'irrespective' of heroes/publications),fact is I've already collected some ...and looking for the rest!!No doubt,I've enjoyed those 'other stuffs' featured in 5-6 pages of 'these' Ijcs much more than the comic instead!!:-)))

Now coming to an another topic,do our Indrajals Lovers have noticed that the headers of 'Indrajal Comics' were changed for as much as four times!!!

Here's some display of cover's in which headers were changed with times.After the glorious introduction in 1964,the first change was happened in 1967 .

Then in 1983, Indrajal converted in typical Vol.No. category from the individual No.s so also header converted in a pretty larger size!

The last change was happened in 1989 when Ijc briefly returnted in a forthnightly schedule from it's 7-year-long weekly pattern!

Finally,the price!! I still remember,even that price-tag(it was at the bottom side of cover,earlier in a box & later in a circular or simply in an open-format) itself make me nostalgic,since I'd re-started my 'Ijc-hunt' few years back! In the glorious ~27-year-run,Indrajal-fans experinced a pretty cheap price(compare to 'other' comic-publications) which started with 0.6/- (in 1964) & finished at 6.0/- (in 1990) per copy!!! wow!!! even those ordinary Diamond Comics were relatively higher rated!!

P.S.- Forgive me for such a longgg post,but I guess this one is a real informative and a good serve for those looking for intimate details of their loves & NOT only the creamy-part (i.e. ONLY the Comic-pages n nothing else...unfortunetly which's a charcteristic nature of many a 'so-called' Indrajal Lovers in our blogs. :-/ )

Beside this,also I've to confess one thing....I'm simply loving it (i.e. sharing/writing something on these lost gems!) ;o)

Phantom Indrajal:The Cruel Conspiracy(Ijc #136)

Today is our Subha Saraswati Puja & on this occasion enjoy another treat of old Vetaal-Indrajal! So,enjoy a couple of back-2-back vintage('70s)Phantom-adventures in this blog-space!!:-)))

It's a 'special' tale & those Phans who wished to learn more about the early days of Rex-the present prince of Baronkhan,would LOVE it!!Personally,when I'd read it on-paper,just loved it(also I'm fond of those tales associated wid Rex).

As the title shows,it's about a ghastly conspiracy regarding the origin of Rex - which was unknow then(in 1971)!

Moreover,there are some Phantom tales,which are as great as some novels(concept/script-wise)!!! But then,all knows,Falk was as great as some world-famous novelists,only if he'd invested some energies in MORE novels(only 4/5 I guess,besides some play-script). But then,we are NOT complaining,he gave us immese treasures of two amazing SUPER HEROES: Phantom & Mandrake & that too for some 6/7 decades!!!

ohh great.... :-))

Well,enjoy this tale.... thanks again to the A/V duo...

Btwn,I'm provoding d/l links in 2 parts!

Here is some touching moments..... :-)

Flash Gordon:The Robot Family(Ijc #177)

UPDATE: d/l link has been provided....sorry for the delay.Between,another comic is coming soon! :-)

Although this Flash Indrajal was not among the 'toppers' of viewer's choice,I'm publishing it 'cos this particular tale has a real emotional aspect , besides the inherent 'sci-fi' charcteristic in the adventures of this Galactic hero, which touched me deeply ....hope visitors will feel same ! :)

Also,it's a 1st time I publishing anything on Flash Gordon!If some reader thinking I'm NOT a big fan of this blond-hero,he would be completely wrong ,allthough somehow I cudn't (to dedicate a post on him!).

Fact is,our most Indrajal fans aren't that close to Flash-adventures like they do for P/M/B,also there are only a few Flash-ijc on net which don't help(to make his stories more available)! :-/

I guess,ToI cudn't make much profit from Flash-ijcs lately & as a result they suddenly avoided to publish solely Flash-strips .Thus,after the

'The Vindictive War Deity(Vol.23 No.28 ;1986) ' there was a long gap (more than 2 years) before we cud see a solely Flash-ijc :'The Lost Continent(Vol.25 No.46 ;1988)'! Well,there were 3/4 Flash-strips were published as an inside-story with Phantoms in between....but that's it!

But after this 're-apperence' we'd seen as much as 7 Flash Indrajals & let me tell me,ALL are 'special' and very different from 'usual' adventures of this galactic hero(like Ming etc)!

Starting with that 'Lost Continent' or it's continuion part,'The deadly queen Mesala(Vol.25 No.51)' followed by prince Barin origin(Vol.26 N0.4 - a fascinating tale,my friend!!) or that LAST Flash in Indrajal,'The Deadly Intrigue(Vol.26 No.32)'[and the 1st Flash I brought, in 1989! ;o) ] where Flash team faced a deadly/scary situation in the Korobu -a planet ruled by women only....In short,each and every of these are SUPERB thrillers!

Now.....let's read this fascinating one!It's another A/V scan!
