Today is the first anniversary of my first post on PBC and as a special treat I am posting Diamond comics Phatom digest #8.
     It contains one of my favourite Phatom stories, Phantom and the Mysterious Island. As far as I know this was not published in Indrajal Comics due to its anti-Russian stand, during India's socialist period. There are three stories in the comics. One of Phantom, Mahabali Shaka and Chimpoo each. I hope you enjoy all of them as much as I did.

It's from Emile's e-collection. All credits go to her & "Allen Lane" who scanned and first shared at net.

 

Egmont has a long history of changing and twisting original Falk lore throughout its long and successful history.

The new writer has changed the History: the original of the first Phantom's father is revealed to be somewhat different to what Lee Falk had originally envisioned... a man marroned on an island in the Bahamas, a man imprisoned, and a man marrying one of the local girls. 

Scanning & initial editing by Kit Walker. Sharing after additional editing myself.

This strip was printed in Indrajal comics "#343-1980-The Black Stinger" as 2nd comics. One can download IJC version (i.e.coloured comics) from our MEGA IJC blog: HERE.

NOTE: The major part of Indrajal Comics' Flash Gordon stories are Dan Barry's the Daily (D-2) and the Sunday strips.

But trouble is brewing on several fronts: ignorant of Verma's scheme, Ming sends a large suicide squad to Arboria to kill Flash and capture Dale...

   Wishing you all very happy and prosperous new year !!! 

           Hi all, I am back from my long absence due to personal problems. Today I am posting next in line of 3D comics. Tarzan's  Rescue at Mount Talamuna - 3D. This is one of the rare 3D comic book I found where story is also good. I hope you enjoy it. As you know about 3D comics, this one will also require special 3D anaglyph glasses to read.

I had scans all ready months ago but editing was done today evening by me and Prabhat. He has shown his magic in non 3D pages.
