Hello all friends & visitors! This is a very special day for my blog as exactly one year ago,I'd created this "Lost World of comic heroes .." !! :-)

All though,I took this blog-thing seriously quite later,in July'07,but my 1st post was indeed on 6th April,2007 & that too was on my passion for Indrajal Comics!!







This is also my silver jubilee comic-post & mean time this blog witnessed over 20,000 visits from all over the world(counted since July'07).....yeaa! :D


Thanks to ALL visitors & specially those who regularly left their valuable feed-back in different posts.....all these things simply motivated me to continue till now & hope I will continue to do same in future,at least for some period!:-)

So ,to celebrate this special day,here I'm providing 2-in-1 treat:a couple of Phantom-n-Mandrake dailies!

Enjoy the thrill of these vintage strips!

I read this Phantom too, but don't have the strips, wish to collect.

Sagnik, I couldn't download the strips last night - some problem with mediafire. But it looks good now, so I'll do so later. I think I have the comics of both these strips - the first one is that Diamond queen thing right? The 2nd one - I recognize because of that warden getting fired.

Sagnik,

AND now you get it!
ENJOY!:D ...btwn,many more to come,just gimme some time! :-)

HojO said...

@Adi:
Hope this time you've d/l it!

the first one is that Diamond queen thing right?

Nah!!!
If you've read the earlier Phantom strips(upto '50s),you may have realised,there are MANY adventures asociated wid 'mysterious' ladies.....like your mentioned Diamond queen or Scarlet Sorecis etc etc....AND,I CAN BET,THIS "Lady from Nowwhere" is 2nd best after zat 'Soreces' - MY Top favorite! :-)

Btwn,the Mandrake strip had been published in Ijc as #213(Cobra's revenge or like it!) allthough heavily edited...here you can get unedited version!:-)

HojO said...

#CC:

Cool new header, Sagnik. :)

Hey, the Phantom strip is the same that was there in IJC's "diamond queen" or something. Although, this had more panels - the IJC one was definitely censored.

HojO said...

#Adi:
Thanks!:D
I was looking for a *NEW* Blog header n thus thought why not create by myself something which'll incld. ALL of our heroes(n hotties! ;-))

Hey, the Phantom strip is the same that was there in IJC's "diamond queen"

Arre, that 'Diamond Queen' title was given by ToI only,inside it was mentioned 'Lady frm Nowwhere' ...ALL THOUGH zat Ijc version was a mere Gold Key creation,i.e. NOT Original Falk-Mccoy Daily n that GK ver. is pretty dull!! :(

P.S.- What I reffred by zat 'Diamond Queen' was an early falk-Moore sunday! :)
