 A rare colored comics by Mayukh Chawdhury from the "Bivabori" pujabarishiki by DSK,published on early '80s.This comic was later reprinted in a MC Samagra,in b/w probably,but reading the original version is something different!
 Like some of his best creations,this short story is based on a sci-fi concept...

BTT #18 - Two Comics from DSK Pujabarshiki

 Two comics from DSK pujabarshiki : অন্ধকারের হাতছাানি(by নারায়ণ দেবনাথ) from মন্দিরা(1977) and নরকের রাজা(by তুষার চ্যাটার্জি) from চন্দনা(1978).

 I am not a big fan of তুষার চ্যাটার্জি,specially the way he portrayed human figures! While anything looks good(or decent,at least) on the old, vintage pages of these DSK pujabarshikies,and so this comic,নরকের রাজা, but the way 're-production' of many old comics were done in the recent years(by some publishers,incld.DSK itself!!), I do believe the result will be quite inferior with this artists' out-puts,which are nothing compare to his contemporaries like নারায়ণ দেবনাথ or ময়ূখ চৌধুরী .
 Plus, in reality,TKC was a very ordinary artist,he picked some fantasy-based/adventure stories but the art ruined whole thing,sadly!
[The only TKC story which I believe worth re-reading or reproduction,is কালো বাঘের থাবা, originally ran in the late '70s SUKTARA covering 29 issues..]

 Meantime,enjoy these comics....

BTT #16 - Duhswapner Deshe(দুঃস্বপ্নের দেশে) by Narayan Debnath(1975)

 Enjoy a rare color comics by N.Debnath - দুঃস্বপ্নের দেশে - published in a DSK pujabarshiki, Balaka(বলাকা), on 1975.

This comic was later reproduced in ND Samagra Vol.1 by Lalmati but that was in black-and-white(converted from color pages) and hence lost the charm!So if one has to read this comic in original color-form,he/she has to depends on this old DSK special only...

You might have noticed that some publishers are publishing ND's original b/w comics in color to present those vintage comics in more 'attractive' way and some other are converting the original color comics in b/w for just cost-cutting purpose AND in both way,they are destroying the original art!A sad but common practice that's going on currently...soon they realize the better for fans!

BTT #2 : Nonte ar Fonter Nanan Kirti (প্রথম পর্ব/Vol.1) by Narayan Debnath

 If late Satyajit Roy holds a special place in the Bengali teen-literature domain,then Narayan Debnath is definitely responsible for the revolution of the original Bengali comic-strips(fun-series) era. Among his best creations, we can take names like Batul the Great, Handa-Bhonda & of course,Nonte-Fonte! While introduction-wise Nonte-Fonte series was 3rd in the list,it was the most popular and widely circulated compare to it's two predecessors.
 After the series was well-received among the readers of Kishor Bharati,the publisher Patra Bharati started to publish compilations of those humor-strips in a book-form,under the title 'Nonte-Fonter Nanan Kirti' from the '80s onwards..
Today I'm posting the very first volume of this series..

Between,while the series' name doesn't include him,but without his presence I wouldn't became this much fan of Nonte-Fonte and he IS one and only keltuda ;o)). Also not to forget that glutton superintendent!

Without them, the fun becomes much less! Ain't my friends??
