P.S. This one & earlier Zorro was bought by Srikanth at cost of 50+ USD each. There are 11 more such rare issues in his collection.
Do you wish to read those?
Hi Prabhat - after a long time first. Feels good to be the first to comment.
ReplyDeleteI already have this Zorro - you must have posted it before...I think. Anyway a real rare find.
Thanks to Srikanth for sharing his valuable possession with us.
shouldn't it be the Mask of Zorro instead of the Mark? I saw the same typo in the earlier comic I have.
ReplyDeleteWonderful comic, and you say he possesses 11 more of this.... hmm... keeping my fingers crossed :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to Srikanth and Prabhat. 50+ USD each? Well, I would have to be content with the digital copy then :)
Yeah, I also have this dell classic. There was a bunch of dell comics that i bought (close to 50) some time back and this was one among them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the scans.

@Old Man Mozz: Welcome, buddy!
ReplyDeleteIt was not posted by me. First time I gave notice about this one: 7th Feb 2007. I was planning to post this one very quickly, however due to Indrajal & disturbances .....
You know, many times I send coming scans to all contributors, team members & regular visitors in advance.
May be I send you earlier
or
someone had posted/shared without informing us.
or
You have another scans & we were thinking that it was not scanned.
@ Rafiq Raja: It's all depends on visitors, we are sharing for them. If friends would like to see, Srikanth ..... :)
ReplyDelete@Vedha: You are really very lucky. Imported 55 years old comics got at rs 5, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSrikanth is living in USA, he bought these their. He's very friendly and nice guy. Helped a lot to find out several rare issues.
You can understand him from a very sort story.
Few weeks ago, he was in India. We were searching some out of print comics. For it he specially visited to his relative, scanned & send. I was not checking mails for 2 days. He twice wrote.
So, if you find such issues at good prices, pls inform me. We can thank such persons, saving their lot of money which they could invest to share with good comics.
P.S. To receive those 2 rare issues, pls contact me through e-mail. I received DMCA notices for this & HMIndia blog. I don't wish to be in any controversy at present. :)
I love zorro -tks to prabhat !
ReplyDelete@Krishna ji: In childhood read few Zorro comics (Indian prints), now thanks to Srikanth we are reading more.
ReplyDeleteActually, those Dell Zorros are scanned years back by dell4c (i think), and hence the confussion.
ReplyDeleteThey were....
Dell#228 The Mark Of Zorro
Dell#425 The Return Of Zorro
Dell#497 The Sword Of Zorro
Dell#538 The Mask Of Zorro
Dell#574 The Hand Of Zorro
Dell#617 The Quest Of Zorro
Dell#732 The Challange Of Zorro
Btw, If u need some missing issue email me.
Also thanks a lot to Srikanth too for his Efforts and Rescans.
@Ajn: Thanks for information! Then, we scanned and posted 2 already available issues (228 & 538) due to lack of information only. :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll avoid duplication in future.
Dear friend, I confused. Are you Ajnaabi? Then I'll write you.
If you are another person, we certainly need rest links. don't see your email? Can you give rest links?
And one more request, if you find any more in future, pls just leave a comment in any post or e-mail me. My address is available.
Thanks a bunch Prabhat... for uploading this comics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Prabhat. Zorro was my second most favorite comic (after Phantom). I think I have all the Zorros (including a couple of books) published before the eighties. Btw 228 and 538 were hi-res scans so don't feel bad!
ReplyDeleteOld Man Mozz, if it is not already clear, there are two comics (Mark of Zorro and Mask of Zorro). At least one was made into a movie - Basil Rathbone etc.
Rafiq, thanks. I will send whatever is missing so we have a complete Zorro collection.
Vedha, you are lucky to get them at that price. These comics are from the forties (over 60 years old) and most of them are quite rare (see Prabhat's Mark of Zorro post which I contributed earlier). I don't think they were reprinted in India (except one in Indrajal). I had to get some of them on eBay after a few failed attempts and others from rare comics shops. Btw you have a nice blog and I was pleased to find a link to Brinda's recording which is also quite rare.
Ajn, thanks for the scans - I will check in a week if I have any more missing Zorro comics. I also have the Marvel series from the nineties (set of 12 I think) - do you know if they are also scanned and available somewhere?
@Roshmi Sinha: Welcome!
ReplyDelete@Srikanth: Thanks buddy! Really these were not avilable in High resolution, so your hard work is not lost.
ReplyDeleteHoping some more fans will help you to complete collection.
Ajn, I would love to buy those old Dell Zorro comics, so if you have any information on whom to contact I would appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteEBay does not seem to have any.
Thanks a lot
