- First Anandamela Pujabarshiki : Sept 1971(বঙ্গাব্দ ১৩৭৮)
- First Anandamela Patrika : Apr 1975(বঙ্গাব্দ ১৩৮২)
In the last few days fortune favored and I have managed to add the above mentioned two first Anandamelas and the first two years worth - Apr'75 to Mar'77 - of mashik Anandamela(among the 24 issues,all are in good shape and except #1 all are with covers!).
[These buys were bit pricey as sellers understand the craze very well and Pujabarshikis as well as the first 2 years worth of mashik Anandamela(1975-77) were charged highly! Anyway,not every day you come across these rarer stuffs and some other sellers might demand even higher prices,so I went for the whole buy!]

You might remember that our fellow blogger Mahashobir was the person who, for the first-time, told us about Pujabarshiki's introductory issue,that's on 1971,which was 4 years earlier than the first monthly magazine!
But the cover was missing that time which you can see here :
(The introductory page of Tintin....the first adventure in the pages of Anandamela was কাকঁড়া রহস্য...)

For today enjoy a Mannings' beautifully drawn Tarzan adventure in Bengali,originally titled Korak and the Amazons of the Mammoth(S019), published in the Anandamela issues 'Year 1 No. 3(Jun'75) to Year 1 No. 8(Nov'75)'.
[In the first two years of Anandamela,as many as 4 colored pages of Tarzan strips were published in the each issue,which later on reduced to 2 pages/issue and later, 1 page/issue in the pakhik/choto Anandamela!The last Russ Manning's TARZAN appeared in the 28th Jan'81 issue. All later strips were drawn by other artists and quality was much inferior,as you know well!]

About Roverse,it wasn't in AM in 1st 2 years at least...may be ,RR was introduced on 18 July'79 along with Shadashib & Bagha,but not sure!
@Ranjanda : Welcome and thanks for the list!:)
@ALL : For a fact,Gablu was introduced on 2nd year of AM i.e. on 1976..Also,Walt Disneys' adventure comics were also introduced in the same period!
@Walker: AM sarodiya-r first 5 years(1378-82) irregular bhabe comics publish hoto...mostly Walt Disney ar local creations!

Thanks for this beautiful post...You are very lucky to get these rare gems...Ami anek purono boi er dokan e khujeo pratham bachar er boigulo painee..jodi kichu mone na koren tahole biogulo kotay pelen jante pari ki??
হোজো, এ কিন্তু তোমার ভারী অন্যায় !! এই সব বই এর প্রচ্ছদ টুকু দেখিয়ে আরো লোভ বাড়িয়ে তুলছো, পুরো বইগুলো কি স্ক্যান করে দেওয়া যায় না এখানে ? :-)
@Sumit: Thanks...and nothing secret,the rate was @30/copy for 1st years' worth and @25/copy for 2nd years' worth...bit steep I know as sellers are becoming more greedy by each passing day..
The rate of later issues(from 3rd year on wards) are usually not more than 15-20/copy...and small AMs are @10-15!
Hope these will help! :)
@Suku: Early Puja issues aren't in that good shape for scanning but I will share the regular AMs as those are much easier for scanning!
Thanks for the reply. This will definately help. But pls tell me the Place where you find these books...
