This comics is posted to show my respect and appreciation toward one fellow blogger who himself is a connoisseur in the field of Indian comics.This comic was a long time request of our Anupam Bhai,who is a great fan of illustrator and write Anupam Sinha, and was asking to scan this particular comic from a long time.
Since i was not able to locate this comic from heap of bags in my house hence was unable to fulfill Anupam Bhai's request before today.
Now,when Anupam Bhai's long time request has been fulfilled i hope that he will be more than happy to find it here.The best thing i like about Anupam Bhai is his devotion towards Indian comics which is simply unmatched,not only this but his devotion towards those persons whom he like/admire is also unmatched as he promptly use to create and dedicate a blog to those persons whom he likes(burning examples,blogs created by him on Anupam Sinha and Sonal Chahuhan).
I really wish that someday he too may like and admire me up to that extent where he can dedicate a blog in my name also :)

Readers like Silly Boy,Lalit and many others were requesting from long time to post selected vintage articles from old film magazines.I too like much to read quality film magazines of bygone era specially of 80's and 90's,and in this space magazines like Madhuri,Sushama,Filmfare,Priya,Movie Jagat etc are of worth mentioning.
Nowadays there are no quality magazine left except Filmfare(English) which up to some extent still has maintained at least some quality though it also has deteriorated much with the changing taste of readers and culture,rest all magazines have already lost in mist of time much before.

When it was announced by Hermes Press last year that they will print all Lee Falk written Phantom Dailies and Sundays in full color,from then the first volume(1936-37) of the series was being eagerly awaited by Phantom phans all over the world.
This very first volume was released in March-April this year but in India till May it was not available within reasonable price range which could be afforded by an average Indian reader.Its cheaper(around Rs.1400-1500/-) version can now be procured through online shopping sites such as flipkart,infibeam etc.

'Times of India' group have been a renowned name among the oldest major publication houses of India.It has produced a wide variety of magazines and comics suiting to the taste of all age groups such as Indrajal comics and Parag for children,Filmfare and Madhuri for movie buffs,Sarika for younger generation,Femina for women,The Illustrated Weekly of India for English literary loving readership and Dharamyug for Hindi readership.
IWI and Dharamyug both magazines use to deal with current affairs along with fine articles on other popular topics such as sports,cinema,T.V. etc.
In this post i will be talking something about Dharamyug which came in publication in the year 1950 to target the Hindi readership as after independence reading culture and specially Hindi/Urdu reading culture was all set to become the prime time pass of Indian mass in parallel with Hindi cinema.
It was surprising to find that no formal and relevant information about Dharamyug was available anywhere over net,hence in this respect Comic World is the first site to throw at-least some light on this fabulous but extincted magazine of yesteryear.
