#178: MEGA Mandrake Flame Pearls Sundays Post

How are you all doing? Here is a mega mega Mandrake post that I always wanted to read all of the stories at one stretch. It is one of my biggest posts covering a period of almost 2 years.

Happy Ugadhi/GudiPadwa (Happy New Year) and Shri RamaNavami (Lord Rama's birthday) to all.

Thanks a lot to all these fabulous people (in no particular order): Paulo Marques, Lothar, Magnus Magnusson, Venkitachalam, Steve Cottle (Ilovecomix) for their priceless contributions and efforts.

They have been very instrumental in searching for these stories, scanning them, cleaning them, organizing them and making it available to all of us who do not have access and resources to these stories.

Thanks also to Australian Women's weekly for publishing Mandrake Sundays and making it available.

If some publisher were to publish all these stories in full color, I will be very glad to buy it. Hope that day comes around soon. Enjoy reading them.

It will take a while to read them all in one stretch and is worth your time.

Here are the Flame Pearls adventure stories:

S014 The Flame Pearls Pt.1: Attempted Assassination From 21 Apr 1940 to 26 May 1940

Wonderful post, Balaji. Am happy to be a small part of this international effort by people spread over 3 continents to bring these gems available to the loyal fans of Mandrake.

Daily Ink, by its recent postings, should soon be entering the realm of the Flame Pearls soon. But it will be more than 2.5 years before the series is over in color. It will be another 3 months before it starts.

Thanks once again for this post. Just imagine - Mandrake gestured hypnotically and an international coalition took place to bring his strips to life on the NET! And how!!

Keep posting. Looking forward to your next Dhamaka post for Vishu, maybe?
