#Comic No.101:Kankaal Nagri

(Updated 9thJan 09':Download Link provided)

Few cartoons were sent today by a friend Vikas to me,since they are worth sharing with all of you.Hence here are they with all thanks to Vikas.)

Although all the Indrajal comics are very gripping and of worth collecting but Phantom/Mandrake Indrajals are unmatched in every aspect.Many such Indrajal comics are still missing in my collection but there are few Indrajals which i miss very much.One of a such comic is "The Ghost Town",which due to its attractive cover is among one of my favorite Indrajal.Yeah,this is same comic which was declared as the Mandrake comic with best cover in the last post.

I was not able to put my hands on this comic before today,hence now when this comic is in my hands,i can't stop myself before sharing this comic with all of you.Its English version has already been posted over net.

So friends presented here is "The Ghost Town" in the old classic format of posting scans of all pages which eventually will save the readers of like of "Silly Boy" from the problems associated with downloading whole comic via download link.

This comic deals with one of those strange,bizarre and adventurous incidents faced by Mandrake-Lothar duo during their journeys.

Imagine during a long journey you reach a deserted,scary and abandoned town.You fuels up your car tank from a local petrol pump there,the pump attender warns you against offering lift to any passerby in the way,in the way a 'ghost' passerby asks you for lift,the passerby alleges the 'pump attender' of being ghost,instead.Returning back to petrol pump for verifying you are astonished to found that whole petrol pump has simply vanished away.

Feeling a lill scary and considering yourself as new avatar of Sherlock Holmes you decide to investigate the strange happenings around you.In the deserted nearby hotel of the town you come up across with strange and haunting incidents,and finally in the basement of hotel if you happen to bump across with Osama Bin Laden,Adolf Hitler and Mussolini then what will be your initial reaction...!!!!!

Think,what would have happened to Mandrake-Lothar duo when they would have come across with a similar situation!!!!..Can't guess.....,ok witness yourself the happenings by reading this comic.

Friends for enabling up this post to hit the blog screen in quick succession with the last post a reader "Sill Boy" has a major role in it.One would ask how,then sometimes it do happens that a single comment leaves a impact which is equivalent to 100 comments,and that's exactly what this comment did:

"Great work pal for the 100th post. It is very disappointing that you are not sure about 1000th post. I wish you would not be discouraged and go on posting. I wait for your new post with the same eagerness as I used to wait for new Parag, Madhu Muskan, Inderjal or a new Motu-Patlu or Chhotu Lambu comic and that too despite the fact that other then comics which you post with each post (as you posted Popat-Chopat comic or as you used to post in the past) I am not able to read your posts because the only computer I have is provided by my office and it does not have the software required for downloading the comics. Continue with your good work. I am agree with you that we should use this forum more for discussion. I enjoy your inputs about comics and want more. But you cannot overlook the facts that most of your visitors like me do not have such a great and huge collection as you have and that is why they want to quench the thrust of reading comics with the nector of comics you provide to them. It would be better if you provide inputs with comics. I quench my thrust just by watching the covers and reading your inputs and at times with 3/4 page comic which you post on your main page without downloading link. You always answer long comments. Thank you.

It's mainly due to this vibrant comment that i could have inspired myself enough to bring up this post so quick.I hope that a large no. of comments will come up with healthy,meaningful and thick discussions over comic and comic related topics,which unfortunately was not happened with the last post where a topic was put up and readers views were invited.

दोस्तों वैसे तो सारी ही इंद्रजाल कॉमिक्स बहुत रोचक और संग्रह योग्य है पर फैंटम और मैणड्रैक की बात ही कुछ और है .यूँ तो अभी भी मेरे पास बहुत सी कॉमिक्स मिसिंग हैं पर कुछ कॉमिक्स ऐसी हैं जिनका मेरे संग्रह में ना होने का मलाल मुझे हमेशा सालता रहता है,ऐसी ही एक कॉमिक्स थी 'कंकाल नगरी' जो अपने आकर्षक मुखपृष्ट की वजह से हमेशा ही मेरी प्रिय कॉमिक्सों में से एक रही है,जी हाँ ये वही कॉमिक है जिसने पिछली पोस्ट में सर्वश्रेष्ठ कवर वाली मैणड्रैक कॉमिक होने का सम्मान हासिल किया था.
इस कॉमिक्स पर आज से पहले हाथ फेरने का सौभाग्य मुझे कभी प्राप्त नही हो पाया था,पर आज जब ये कॉमिक मेरे हाथ में है तो मै इसे आप सभो के साथ share ना करने की गुस्ताखी करने का साहस नही कर पा रहा हूँ.
तो लीजिये प्रस्तुत है 'कंकाल नगरी' अपने प्रत्येक पृष्ट के scan के साथ जिससे के 'Silly Boy' सरीखे पाठको को सिर्फ़ डाउनलोड लिंक की उपलभ्ता से होने वाली परेशानियों से बचाया जा सके।
ये कॉमिक मैणड्रैक की उन यात्राओ में होने वाली घटनाओ का वर्णन है जिसमे इस जोड़ी को नए नए अद्भुत व विचित्र हालातो से गुज़रना पढता है.
कल्पना कीजिये किसी लंबे सफर के दौरान आप एक सुनसान, उजाड़ और निर्वासित किए गए शहर में पहुँचते हैं,आप वहीँ के एक पेट्रोल पम्प से तेल भरवाते हैं,पम्प वाला आपको रास्ते में किसी को भी लिफ्ट देने से आगाह करता है,रास्ते में भूत आपसे लिफ्ट मांगता है,वो 'भूत' ख़ुद को सामान्य मनुष्य और पम्प वाले को भूत बताता है,सच्चाई की जाँच करने वापस पम्प पर लौटने पर आप समूचे पेट्रोल पम्प को गायब पाते हैं,चकित और थोड़ा डरे हुए आप ख़ुद को शर्लोक होल्म्स का वंशज समझते हुए सुनसान शहर की छानबीन करने लगते है,खाली पड़े होटल में भयावह घटनाओ से आपका सामना होता है और होटल के तलघर में यदि आपकी मुलाक़ात ओसामा बिन लादेन,हिटलर,मुसोलिनी आदि से हो जाए तो कैसा लगेगा आपको ........!!! ज़ोर का झटका बहुत ज़ोर से लगेगा ना...!!!
सोचिये फ़िर मैणड्रैक और लोथार की हालत क्या हुई होगी,जब उन्हें इन सब से गुज़रना पढ़ा होगा,....अजी सोचना कैसा ख़ुद ही पढ़ कर जान लीजिये ना।

दोस्तों प्रस्तुत पोस्ट को इतनी जल्दी ब्लॉग स्क्रीन पर हिट करवाने में जनाब Silly Boy साहब का भी बहुत बड़ा हाथ है,अब आप पूछेंगे के कैसे तो मित्रो कभी कभी ऐसा होता है के सिर्फ़ एक कमेन्ट भी 100-100 कमेंट्स सरीखा जोश पैदा कर जाती है,ठीक यही असर किया इन साहब की इस कमेन्ट ने: Silly Boy wrote:-

ये इसी भावपूर्ण कमेन्ट का असर है जो मैं ख़ुद को इतनी जल्दी एक नई कॉमिक के साथ प्रस्तुत कर पा रहा हूँ।
दूसरी बात ये है के हमारे अभिन्न मित्र श्री 'चंदन महाराज' को न जाने ये ग़लतफहमी कैसे हो गई है के इस ब्लॉग पर उनकी भावनाओ का समुचित सम्मान नही किया जा रहा है एवं उनकी अधिक कमेंट्स करने वाली प्रवुति पर इस ब्लॉग को खीज(भला क्यों!!) महसूस होती है!!हम भी आश्चर्यचकित है पिछली पोस्ट पर उनकी ये कमेन्ट पढ़कर:
"Not at all,dear CW.This was your 100th post,so had to register. Iam a regular entrant in some of the blogs that seem to acknowledge me and my comments.Also they dont get fed up with same guys commenting time and again(iam one of those guys). Comic collection to a xtent does go in our head sometimes....but it wud be wrong to mix with emotions that go along with posting and other things. Hope you understand. CHANDAN"

तो देखा आपने,चंदन जी को न जाने कब और कैसे ऐसा लगा ये ब्लॉग या हम कभी उनकी ओर से उदासीन रहे हो.
चंदन जी आपकी अधिकाधिक कमेंट्स बहुत सम्मान के साथ हमेशा से ही स्वागतयोग्य रही हैं,आपके अंदर छिपे बच्चे के तो हम शुरू से ही पंखे(fan) रहे हैं,इसलिए मन से सारी ग़लतफ़हमियाँ निकाल फेंकिये और अपनी मनमोहक एवं सरल शब्दों वाली ढेर सारी कमेंट्स से हम सबको क्रतार्थ कीजिये।
