Today I just wish to say, Thanks & Happy New Year!

After few hours, 2009 is going to end. I was thinking about 2009 tonight.

Mix feelings: A year of up & down, joy & sorrow.

I wanted to see this year ended, may be  since very first week of  2009. There were lot of  expected & unexpected problems in personal life & blogging. Love & support of  family and friends had helped to come over.

Tonight I felt, I'd miss this year always. Because, I understood the real value of happiness this year only. Get acquainted with many  GOOD persons.

Now less richer, but more friends & more happier.

Today no comic in this blog. A little break. We worked hard, all of us- I mean visitors also. I was horrified myself checking numbers of posts (2009) in my all 3 open blogs only.

So friends,


 

Hey, you are still here. Please enjoy with family & friends.

If you couldn't satisfy without comic, then visit after some hours my Indrajal Blog.
Once again

#278. March of Comics 342 - Tarzan

Due to some personal reasons I was not posting Indrajal since August 2009. From today, going to restart 2nd round.

All persons who are interested to get HQ and NEW scans in English and Hindi are invited at Mega IJC blog. Planning to post atleast 1 IJC per week (English or Hindi), who knows may be back to my old style – multiple posts or per day posting. I’m too old to change my habits. :)

IJC had played very important role to make this blog popular. Some incidents forced me to create another blog for IJC.

Strongly believe in summary of BHAGAVAD GITA:

Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only.

(जो हुआ, वो अच्छे के लिए हुआ, जो हो रहा है, वह अच्छा हो रहा है, जो होगा, वह भी अच्छा ही होगा।)

Soon, I can find out exact numbers of Indrajal posted by me. Once tried to count and dropped in mid way. :)

Going to shift all IJC to my IJC blog – to make one blog for my IJC posts. It'll be helpful for those friends who came in late. Mostly IJC (approx 400) posted by me were complete. Let see what we can do in 2nd round.

Today's post: IJC #3 - Absolutely new scans (cover to cover)

Hoping you’ll like and enjoy as earlier.


From tomorrow Vidyarthi Mithram's Tarzan comics are coming in this blog.

#268. Tarzan of the Apes (1972)

The American artist Burne Hogarth (25th December 1911 - 28th January 1996) specialized in drawing the dynamic anatomy of the human body and animals, as can be best seen in his rendition of 'Tarzan'. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute from age 12, and got his first cartoon job at 15, when he became the assistant at the Associated Editors Syndicate. At this time, he was assigned to illustrate a series called 'Famous Churches of the World'. In 1929, Hogarth created his first comic strip for the Barnet Brown Company, called 'Ivy Hemmanhaw'. A year later, he came up with 'Odd Occupations and Strange Accidents' for Ledd Features Syndicate.
After a couple of years working as an editor, advertising artist and panel illustrator, Hogarth found employment with the King Features Syndicate in 1934. Now located in New York, he did the pirate strip 'Pieces of Eight' with scripts by Charles Driscoll, starting in 1935. Two years later, Hogarth had a breakthrough when the United Features Syndicate hired him to take over the 'Tarzan' strip from Harold Foster. He drew the 'Tarzan' Sunday page for twelve years, from 1937 to 1945 and from 1947 to 1950, bringing it to new artistic heights.
During the 1945-1947 interlude, due to a dispute with his syndicate, Hogarth moved over to the Robert Hall Syndicate, where he created 'Drago', the adventures of a young Argentine nobleman battling post war Nazis in South America. While being in his second run on 'Tarzan', he additionally created 'Miracle Jones' for United Features, his first and only humorous series. In 1950 he completely abandoned his own comics production, to devote all his time to teaching at the Cartoonists and Illustrators School (later the School of Visual Arts), which he had founded with Silas Rhodes back in 1947. Hogarth taught at this school until 1970, and also authored a series of books on drawing and anatomy.
In 1972, years after his final professional comics work, Hogarth returned to the field with a new 'Tarzan' book, adapting Burroughs first novel, 'Taran of the Apes'.

#266. Russ Manning's Tarzan Daily Strips (Complete collection))

In 1967 he was chosen by Robert Hodes of ERB, Inc. to do the daily and SundayTarzan strips for United Feature Syndicate. The strips had drifted far from the Burroughs vision and Russ was committed to bring the strip much closer to the style of the original Tarzan novels. Each week he wrote and illustrated -- with the assistance of artist Bill Stout -- the large colour Sunday page and six daily strips. His illustration and writing abilities brought a quality and accuracy to the strip that had not been seen since the days of Foster and Hogarth in the '30s and '40s.

#259. Tarzan - Mitabu Nakab Ka Dhap (Hindi)

One of the most popular comics character 'Tarzan', was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1911. First appeared in the novel 'Tarzan of the Apes'. which was published in 1912. The very same book was adapted as first Tarzan comics strip in early 1929.

Like the Phantom, Tarzan also lives in the jungles of Africa. Sadly, both never meet in any comics.

This time read : Tarzan #34 (Hindi)

The Phantom - (Moonstone collection 2) (2002-2007)

The Phantom: Law of the Jungle (2006)
Every society has its laws: some written, some un-written - for some are forbidden to be even spoken aloud. The penalty for breaking these laws is often swift and uncompromising. Combine the lack of this knowledge with the unhinged mind of a deadly assassin who is calling out the Phantom and you get nothing but fire. Bang the drum for Paul Guinan's (Chronos) painted art, which has an eerie cinematic quality that ignites a wanton rhythm into the night of the Bangalla jungle. You want to see him the way others see him in his world? This is your one chance... if the law allows...


Update (26 Jan 2018): Following were shared in previous posts, had regrouped here.
