#109: Strip Adventure JAL Publication #3 Story 1 of 3

After a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Time here is a post. Sorry for the delay as I am tied up finishing things due end of August.

This strip appears in Strip Adventure Magazine by JAL #3 I got this on Ebay for about $15. Thought I will scan it and post for the 1 year celebration. Better late than never, I guess. Thanks to Sheril and his friend for cleaning up some of the scans that were dull.

Hope you like the story. This book has 2 more stories, one of which has already been posted by Dara and is available on his blog. The second story I will make it available for the next post.

Hello Visitors

UPDATE: I Forgot to include my friends who have contributed Indrajals, Amar Chitra Kathas & Diamond Comics to my collection. The three musketeers are Chandoba (ICC), Ajay Mishra & Sagnik Ghosh. Thanks a lot for the comics trade. Sorry about not mentioning all 3 of you to begin with.
I am back from my vacation in India. Had a very good time with family and friends. Hope you are all doing well and having a good time. Drop me an email when possible. Will post something soon. My kids are still in India and are enjoying their summer. Most of my Indrajal Comics collection this time came from contributions from the 3 musketeers. Also found a few Indrajals in Bangalore from a old books seller purchased 10 from him for Rs 100, found a Phantom Annual book for sale (Rs 50 bargained down to Rs 30), an excellent book. Also bought some Tintin, Diamond Comics (acquired many through trade with a good friend), got some Amar Chitra Katha as well. Overall, a good opportunity to collect many comics. Weather was not too hot in Bangalore, lots of cloudy days, visited many friends & nearby places as it had been 4 years since my last visit. Enjoyed different varieties of food and had a great time with family. My son had a great time sitting on a camel for the first time in his life. He was able to find new friends and is having a blast. He has learnt to play Cricket, Badminton. My daughter turned 1 and it is fun watching her trying to walk and play with her new toys.
Comic post coming soon. Stay tuned.

#108: S095: The Mole From 16 Aug 1964 to 14 Mar 1965

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY , ICC (Chandoba)!
Since getting my gmail and blogger back, I have come up with a password that is highly cryptic and I will keep changing it often so I won't get screwed again by anyone! I am still flaming as I lost most of my emails from several of my friends. Time to move on. ... (After all I am in IT Security and should have known better.)
Hectic week trying to wind up unfinished items before I head to India (Bangalore) for 4+ weeks of vacation with my family of 4. Leaving on June 2nd.
Have an interesting story here provided by Myron. Thank you very much for providing the scans so that we can all get to enjoy it. Also, just received an email from him on using a search criteria for searching Mandrake items on ebay. Was wanting to do the same as I have bought many books of Mandrake myself.
Paste the following in the search box on http://www.ebay.com/ :
mandrake -linux -sleeve -CDs -root -bottle -pills -beta -bitters -herbs -tom -oil -memorial -edguy -hemlock -eddy -firewall -router -potter -herb -lp -stickers -pendant -smenkhkare -galoob -creeps -swamp -shade -plants -audubon -botanical -knoppix -disks -seeds -gargoyle -medical -VHS -TV -10.
This will narrow the search to more relevant items. Then bookmark the page. Name it Mandrake on eBay.
Enjoy the Story.
