I use 3 mediafire folders & 3 esnips folders. Some comics were posted with contributors links, not mine. I started this blog on 18th November 2007, but actively posting since May 2008 (88 posts). I just tried eliminating difficulties of comics’ fans which I faced myself by recollecting at one place. I had some extra time which I gave to this blog rather wasting in clubs & so on.
Generally I avoid publishing such information, but for this occasion reveling some facts - to show your love to this COMICS BLOG.

Third folder contains around 50% Comics of my other blog. I feel there is need to pay little attention. Hoping with your help, it will be improved. This year ACK blog will be my priority.

Was the first blogger the irascible Dave Winer? The iconoclastic Jorn Barger? Or was the first blogger really Justin Hall, a Web diarist and online gaming expert whom "The New York Times Magazine" once called the "founding father of personal blogging"? ........
I also always wonder about it. There are many articles available, recommend to read this one (here).

Before we come to next part, few words about :
Leon Harrison Gross, well known as Lee Falk (April 28, 1911 - March 13, 1999), was an American writer, best known as the creator of the popular comic strip superheroes "The Phantom" and "Mandrake the Magician". He began his career that resulted in the creation of these two classic fantasy comics as a 19-year-old college student. "Mandrake the Magician" was the first action-adventure strip in which magic was the main theme.
- The Ghost Who Walks
The Ghost Who Walks has many names. Among them, Guardian of the Eastern Dakk (Also called the Eastern Dark), and The Man Who Cannot Die. Of course, the best known is The Phantom.
The Phantom series began with a daily newspaper strip on February 17, 1936, followed by a color Sunday strip on May 28, 1939; both are still running as of 2009.
Falk continued to script Phantom (and Mandrake) until his death on March 13, 1999. His last daily and Sunday strip stories, "Terror at the Opera" and "The Kidnappers", respectively, were finished by his wife, Elizabeth Falk. After Falk's passing, King Features Syndicate began to cooperate with European comic publisher Egmont, publisher of the Swedish Fantomen magazine, which now went from only publishing Phantom stories in licenced comic books to providing the stories for the newspaper strip as well, by adapting their own Phantom comic book stories into the comic strip format. Fantomen writers Tony De Paul and Claes Reimerthi
alternated as writers of the newspaper strip after Falk died, with De Paul handling the daily strips and Reimerthi being responsible for the Sunday strips. As of 2009, De Paul is the regular writer. Some of the stories have been adapted from comic magazine stories originally published in Fantomen.
Indian comics: Indrajal Comics, Diamond Comics, and Rani Comics all published reprints of Lee Falk's daily or Sunday strips. Egmont Imagination India printed the Scandinavian work.
Do you remember?

The Phantom Annuals (1967)
World Distributors (Manchester) Limited (by arrangement with Western Publishing Company, Racine, Wisconsin, U.S.A.) published two hardcover Phantom Annuals – first in 1967 & second in 1968. These were very unique – a good combination of several prose stories, 24 pages comics story, crossword puzzles to animal quizzes. In 1967 Annual the comic book story was Delilah (by Bill Lignante & originally printed as King Comics #23). In India this comics story was printed as Indrajal comics # 056 -1967. The prose stories were mostly 3-4 pages long but none acknowledged an author.
Lucky I have honor to present through this e-library, first unique – Phantom's BOOK & COMICS:
The Phantom Annual (1967)
Note: This annual has 96 pages. It was wrongly considered as 68 pages version by some sites.
Ajay Misra received it from a friend from UK & scanned it for us.

Fantastic post for republic day! Thanks Prabhat and thanks Ajay. I presume the link for the annual is not up yet?
Prabhat,
Congratulations! Thank you so much. Thanks to the scanners too.
Life is short. We may not be able to change the world, but at least we can try to make life a little bit more pleasant for others. All these rare ICs take me back to my childhood. I have a two-year old child. I want him to experience the same joy and wonder that I experienced when I read these comics twenty plus years ago. Particularly because the current generation comics (like movies) are full of special effects and little substance.
I am sure you will hit the 100 milestone and even the zero milestone pretty soon. You will not be forgotten. When my son reads these comics I will tell him that they are from Prabhat uncle. Thank you for carrying the torch forward and for helping to pass it to the next generation.
Best wishes and a happy Republic Day.
Prabhat congrats on 100th post .
Wish all of you a very happy Republic Day .
Phantom Annual was with me for last 5 years only had not scanned it .
Ajay

Congrats for the 100th post Prabhat! A lot of stuff here to read and absorb. The annual issue looks particularly juicy and can hardly wait for that one.
I sent you an email with a spreadsheet containing missing pages from issue 150 to 200.
I saw that I had an issue numbered 199 as "death house of hydra" but it doesn't appear to be so, looking at the deep woods site.
Hearty Congrats on your first Century.Thanks for the huge effort Prabhat.I will have to learn time management from you..
Regards
Bharat
Woooo... I dont even know how to start thanking you guys....:DDD
Thnks Prabhat..Indeed this is the best post..lots of hardwork seen.You all guys rock..Keep it up.
And Congrats for century..may u have more such centuries..
The Phantom Daily and Sunday strips are availabe (for a fee) at DailyInk web site with a 900 pixels width (instead of 650 pixels).
The Iron Python story exists there at this size (the first sunday stip size is 900x605 and glorious colors).
Happy 60 anniversary.
Prabhat, before you upload the next batch, please verify the links for the following comics:
Fishers of Pearls
Bent Beak Broder
The Governor's Family

-Gowtham.

Satish
Congrats Prabhat for century and Many thanks to the Contributors team.
This post is as wonderful as you promised and i'll also keep my promise... :)
Taking leaves in Feb first half to read all the stuff and also i'll have some time to improve my Blog.
Now I know the mystery behind the #199 IJC scan that I have. It is 199 in the TCP numbering scheme and not the real IJC#199. Sorry for the confusion.
Krishna ji : Welcome! Thanks for your contributions. You not only helped me (us), in but first person who wished. I’ll soon upload link & inform you by e-mail.
With regards,
Prabhat
Anonymous: Welcome! Thanks for your contributions.
I’m hundred 100% agree with you. When we share sorrow it decreases, and joy increases. Nothing we bring with us, nothing will take. What we’ll pass generation to generation will remain here.
With regards,
Prabhat
AJAY: Welcome! Thanks for your contributions. You had scanned & contributed my comics. But what you had done for Indrajal fans, it’s simply amazing.
With regards,
Prabhat
The Skull Cave Treasures: Welcome! Thanks friend. :)))
Indrajal comics are love of millions Indians. Although these are based on strips, I started reading strips just 1 & half years ago.
Once I was very happy downloading these from others blog. I had some comics sent to others &forwarded to me by Ajay, I never write anywhere I read it. Always encouraged others to go these blogs & download. Once Ajay asked to forward his comics me for reading, none come forward. Some months later, due to various reasons when many stopped posting or started slow posting. As a visitor & hardcore fan of IJC, what difficulties I face, trying to eliminate. :)
In one hand these data (IJC) will be over soon, but if I was not posting such ways, neither speed of scanning new scans was increased nor new wave of posting was started. There are many who have nice collection, but only few have time to scan & share their scan.
Brother, friends are scanning for all, for themselves they have it. They wish it should shared with friends quickly, I also feel same because it’s not my property. And if there were mine, I had done the same. :)
There is another side of coin. If I’d go slowly, may be these would never be available as many friends (who are scanning) would lose interest, may be I also. One we all have to go, everything have it cycle. I’m clear plans what to post, may be some more will add in journey. Let see how long time & energy will permit me to continue. :)
I created this blog not for IJC. The name of this blog is Books & Comics. I love books, if other would active I’ll concentrate on these. There is long way to go, may be visitors will changed, but 1-2 years (min) I’ll continue.
If you are interested can tell you my plans:
1. IJC (English & Hindi)
2. All ACK –wish to make in this sense unique that blog
3. Superman Hindi
4. All Goversons Hindi –wish to make in this sense unique blog
5. Zorro
6. non IJC Phantom (other publications & strips) –wish to make in this sense unique blog
7. Mandrake (Non IJC but Indian only)
8. Some demanded comics by visitors (which will match with profile of this blog)
9. Books (Ancient to modern) – I’m almost ready, just a little diverted for sometimes due to some personal problems.
Wish to read Mandrake non Indian comics & strips only. Bala ji had already done great job, my full faith & support to him. Even if he would like to post regularly, I could forward all Indian Mandrake comics with permission of contributors. Hoping soon I’ll collect my Diamond Comics, then with my scans too.
SagNik: You are welcome! Thanks. :)
TCP: You are welcome! Thanks. :)
Rakesh: Welcome! Very correctly you said, the team had made possible to reach this post number. Some strips are missing, if I would not able to locate some of these. Hoping some selfless contributors will come forward. Inspiration is very dangerous disease. :)
Colonel Worobu: Welcome! Very soon you’ll have this link.
Thanks for email, I checked & replied you. Soon you will have some of these.
Pls continue further verification, we’ll try our best to eliminate all problems, especially major. :)
Bharat: Welcome! I’ve such good friend, I’m thankful to God. Your collection is amazing. You not only helped me with scans many times, but gave the good idea to post strips. One day I’ll come to you or send some friend from your city (who comes here regularly) with 1000 GB hard disk, wait. I wish to run this blog for some years. :)
With regards,
Prabhat

Dear prabhat,
Belated congratulations on the 100th post which is just outstanding. It's great to be a part of your team.
Anurag.
Amazing 100th Post...I cannot even attempt to understand the efforts that you are taking for each of your posts...You and this blog simply rock!!
I am stuck, can't write, how did I miss to read your post? Kind find words to praise you and all other behind our wonderful comic world. simply amazing.!! Thats a lot of info in one dose.
RAKESH: Welcome, friend! I remember your demand about page to page post....... Now mostly contributors are trying to scan all pages. These scans are not coming serial wise, main reason is that many IJC are posted, mostly are missing ad. pages only. All contributors are interested to scan first - missing, half posted & damaged IJC. Hope you will understand.
Anurag: Welcome friend! Your support for this blog & me, I’ll never forget. You come forward with scans in very early stage. We (I, all visitors & rest contributors) are lucky that you are with us, who is making this blog unique with your priceless contributions.
With regards,
Prabhat
TheBlabberingBard: Welcome! I was missing you.
The secret of this result is TEAM work only. I posting, but the heroes are known & unknown contributors.
Phuktya: Thanks! Glad to find out I’m going in right direction.
Prabhat,sorry for belated comments.Its really a fabulous post,seems you are the luckiest guy on earth as you are having such amount of time to devote for the blog and a wife to tolerate/allow such a time consuming activities.
Uploading all possible strips is not a easy task as one have also to sustain his interest in this monotonous work.
A great post indeed which will be considered as reference for downloading the strips.Wish you could also be able to do a similar work for Mandrake also.
CW: Welcome! Glad to know you liked the post. :)
I really lucky to have such good wife …… It’s not my work alone. I’m lucky always have many friends, always succeed to collect a good team.
May be free time I have less than many. Just 1 year ago I had 2 drivers. Now per day (2-3 days in a week) drive 400-500 km or come late.
Yes I’ve interest to continue this thankless job. It’s not tough to reorganize time. So I sleep just 1 hour less & try to minimize wasting time.
About Mandrake, let we all together help Bala ji. He has done already half work. I wrote all my contributor friends to send him Mandrake scans. Some I’ll forward myself. Good news for us, he is back in mood.
bro the blog was indeed good and after reading the comics i just feel like goin back to my childhhod days..serioulsy i feel like to be a little child reading your blogs all the time.. thanks for the initiative that you have taken and bringing back the memoirs to the new generation who would have might missed it.. hats off to yo bro..

Rahul Raj Singh: Welcome my youngest brother! Once we lost our physical treasure. Don’t worry, this time not only we’ll have, but all comics’ fans will have these. You concentrate on your studies, just last one & half years remained. In my next visit I’ll bring you these on DVDs. Hope you are enjoying engineering student’s life along with studies. If not, enjoy this phase!
Your brother & friend.
Amith Nag: Soon I'll solve this problem & inform you. Pls wait.
I have to confess I remain just k.o. when considering the rhythm and contents of the posts so regulary put into your blog. But this one is even something different as seven decades of Phantom dailies and Sunday pages are available here… a real achievement and I underline it is so very kind of you to share with others all this material. No doubt this page is now a reference for the collectors. You may be pride of your work for them.
Alain: Welcome! As I always say, a team gives a better result. This way wished to find these strips online, these were not available. So decide to post. Many selfless known & unknown contributors worked hard, and are working hard to gift us these gems. All credits to them only. I just recollected these with help of friends to make search easy. I’m not proud, but really being happy when someone find it useful. :)
Hi all,
fantastic post.
However, beware of the size of the latest stories (both Dailies [width = 525 pixels] and Sundays [width = 650 pixels]): it is ridiculously small (sorry).
BUT: they are available (for a fee, $15 a year last time I checked) as a width of 900 pixels [pretty good].
Anonymous: Welcome!If you have password, pls download & share with all.
I love this post. will add all of the trips that I do not have to the online newspaper comix archive. -Steve/ilovecomix
ilovecomix: Welcome! You can add, we'll be happy. If you would post links, pls add original links, the uploader could check numbers of downloads. It’ll encourage them in future projects.
Keep visiting. :)
Thank you, and may god bless you and everyone else who helped put this together... fantastic collection!

Ryan: Welcome! The collective help by known and unknown friends made it possible. All credits to them, I am just a face.
Awesome site and wonderful effort. Thanks, guys. The link for THE PHANTOM ANNUAL 1967 is dead. Can we please have it back?
DR PC: THE PHANTOM ANNUAL 1967 is now alive.:)
Thanks a lot.
I am introducing my 13 years old son to these treasures, which I enjoyed as a child from Indrajal Comics, The Illustrated Weekly, Desh (Bengali), The Assam Tribune.
Excuse me for such a late response, the reason I discovered your blog only after March this year. Congrats on the first milestone you achieve with your 100 post, Prabhat.
Awesome collection of Phantom strips, going to take my sweet time to download them all. Thanks much brother. Keep going strong, and may the force be with you.
@Manoj Kumar: Welcome! My son will soon 9. I understand you. I had targeted to some favorites only, which were loved by majority in our childhood. Keep visiting.
@Rafiq Raja: It's said in Hindi: Der aaye durust aaye. No matter you came late, but you are one of the most active visitors, hoping we'll be friends not at net, but in real life too.
You can count on that, Prabhat Bhai :)
