As i have already mentioned in one of my earlier post that Lotpot was the first main platform where the artist of the types of Pran,Shehaab,Sukhwant,Kripa Shankar Bhardwaj,Jitendra Bedi and others got to the taste of success so without emphasizing more on the value and importance of this comic presented here is another vintage issue of Lotpot which i hope all of you will like.
Friends today's post consist of two vintage issue of Manoj Chitra Katha which were in big format and with old logo.Unfortunately both stories were not written by Bimal Chatterji due to which the story part is a little weak of specially nagrani ke kundal whereas the story of Khooni Haar is written by Ansar Akhtar(Nanha Jasoos Bablu fame) which is quite interesting.
Continuing Deepawali bonanza here is the 3rd comic of the festive occasion which is from a lesser known publication 'Sun Comics' about which not much information is available with me except that it began publishing Hindi comics in 1982-83 and mostly published stories featuring Vikram and Insp.Garun.
The current comic is no exception as it contains stories of both Vikram and Garun which are illustrated by Late Pradeep Sathe and Bapu Patil respectively.According to the credits the story of Ins.Garun is illustrated by Bapu Patil but its in exactly same style and shape as of Vikram which suggests the possibility of Sathe and Patil being the same person.
If anybody have more information about Sun Comics i.e how many comics and up till when did it published comics then pl share with us.
With best wishes for Deepawali i wish to say that from a long time requests for Madhumuskan was being made from comic lovers such as Atul Vishwakarma and others,hence respecting their request not only one but two Madhumuskan are hereby presented for all of you.But it doesn't mean that Deepawali bonanza will stop with Madhumuskans only,in fact more comics are yet to follow this week.
सत्तर के दशक में जब डेनिम जींस का भारत आगमन हुआ तो इसकी महिमा पर कई आलेख,कवितायेँ इत्यादि लिखी गईं थी,ऐसे ही एक आलेख से आपका परिचय करवा रहे हैं जो तब की बहुचर्चित पत्रिका 'दीवाना' में प्रकाशित हुआ था.कृपया गौर फरमाइए और जींस की महिमा से परिचित होकर लाभान्वित होइए.
Friends,why is so that these new comics fails to interconnect one as those old comics use to do a long way back,why we can't identify ourselves with the story line of these current comics,why these comic doesn't excites us though those old comics still recreate the magic of which we are fond of.
Recently came across with a latest set of Raj Comics which were quite costly,colorful printing,nice glossy pages,quite attractive cover designs.I started to read with a new ignited hope but couldn't read more than 9-10 pages as the soul of comic,the story miserably failed to attract me,this superhero concept,unnatural villains,unconvincing plot and excessive use of modern(imaginary) gadgets all was such that i am wandering into a alien land and watching a alien animated movie.
These surviving publication houses give a huge hue and cry over the declining comic business/culture in India but hardly they give a thought over the quality of their product,they also fail to understand that what a common Indian comic reader want to read.
If these publication house can sense the nerve of a common comic reader then might be we can see another revamping period of comics.
For eg. lets read this comic 'Gulivar Bauno Ke Desh Me',though its a fantasy/fictional story but see its quality,illustrations and presentation..simply unmatched and close to common comic reader nerve.
