Update(22/7/14) :
There are some start/end dates of Western comic-strips ran in the Anandamela in various period(all strips cudn't cover in one post as ABP introduced/stopped strips just randomly,so bit difficult to locate!)
Roverser Roy - 18/7/1979 to 31/3/1993
Flash Goron - 30/6/1982 to 9/1/1985
He-man - 17/4/1991 to 3/3/1993
Batman - 15/11/1989 to 25/12/1991
Aranyadev - 3/3/1993 to Apr/2004; Aug/2008 to present
---------------------------------
Bengali teen-mag Anandamela introduced Sherlock Holmes' translated series in the July'84 which ran till Feb'88 and covered 27 stories. The translator was Subhadrakumar Sen,and after trying out several other translators work on this series,I can confirm that his work is indeed the BEST! There are some who did decent enough,like Subhadra Mitra(Granthamitra pub.), but he was phenomenal!
Along with Mr.Sen's translation,the brilliant b/w painted art by Subrata Ganguly(mostly) were a treat! Undoubtedly,their combination made this series even more appealing to the readers...
From that series,I have picked two stories.These are 'ভায়লা হান্টারের সমস্যা' based on 'The Adventure of the Copper Beeches' and 'চরম সংঘর্ষ' based on 'The Final Problem' i.e. the 'last' adventure where Holmes was 'killed' as Sir Arthur C Doyle was willing to end this series...but what happened after some 10 years is a different topic! :)
ভায়লা হান্টারের সমস্যা was appeared in the Anandamela pujabarshiki 1392(1985) while চরম সংঘর্ষ was published in 4 parts in the pakkhik issues dated 27/5/1987 to 8/7/1987.

এক সময় ছিল যখন প্রত্যেকটা শার্লক হোমস পড়তাম।চিত্রবিচিত্র বন্ধনী পড়ে রাতে ঘুমোতে পারিনি।অনেকদিন পরে আবার খুজে পেলাম।
প্রচ্ছদগুলো সত্যি খুব সুন্দর।আমার কাছে সবগুলো ছিলো না।পেয়ে খুশি হলাম।
@RG: Thanks and welcome!That article was ok sort...if Indrajal was going to be revived,I wud considered that very important but alas...that's just a one-off(as ToI is not interested,as that reporter himself told me) and there are 100's such articles you will read(and forget!)
