BTT #8 : Bagha Returns!!(Part-2) and more....

 Once again B-A-G-H-A!! Yes,after a while he returns and this time with 30 more strips.All these strips are from the earliest era i.e. covering '79-'80 period(between Bagha was introduced in the July'79 issue of choto Anandamela).So together with the previous post where you got 20 strips,you will have a total of 50 rare strips filled with funny activities of this naughty kid and his friends!
----------------------------------
 Now,I take this opportunity to introduce two NEW blogs for vintage Bengali books and comics,where you will find some more treasures!
First,let's introduce Boi Collector - a blog just old more than one-year - filled with some really rare stuff!! You will get there Pujabarshiki, Upanyash,Short stories and Comics!
And one of the comics posted there was the  Shadashib(সদাশিব) series published in the Anandamela!! Earlier,we don't had a complete set of illustrated version of this Saradindu Bandopadhay created cult series,drawn by famos Bimal Das,which is now available in this blog(Boi Collector) in 3 parts as follows :

• Adikando (আদিকান্ড)
• Agnikando (অগ্নিকান্ড)
• Douradouri kando (দৌড়দৌড়ি কান্ড)*

The credit goes to the original uploader(s) who preserved and shared such a vintage and great comics with us....
[* : As we know Anandamela cancelled Shadashib in the mid-way of the 4th part(হৈহৈ কান্ড),so only these 3 were the complete ones appeared in this teen-mag,unfortunately!]

So just visit this amazing blog and download the stuff and while doing this you should post a thanking note for this unknown poster as he truly deserves it! :-)

Now the 2nd blog : Indrajal Comics in Bengali(ICB) - probably a blog by BT members and finally they are posting Indrajal Comics for public view!! I truly support this effort and you should as well.....
 The clarity of scan is fine,quite neat,only a bit less cleaning i.e. keeping the original paper-color of the Indrajal bit more would be preferable! But otherwise,they did a very decent scanning...

BTT #7 - Dracula by Bram Stoker

                                                             সবাইকে জানাই  মহাষ্টমীর শুভেচ্ছা।

 Read Dracula from বিশ্বসাহিত্য চিত্রকথা. Another title(Mcbeth) has been already posted by Indrada,as you have already seen.
 Only last week I was introduced with this unknown and long forgotten series.A complete list of would-be titles under this publication, all were based on famous western novels, is mentioned in the back-cover of this issue.While I doubt whether all of those mentioned titles were actually published!!
 Indrada,having more titles ,shares the same doubt as well.Oddly these issues don't have any serial numbering!
 Anyway,there were many such lesser known/unknown comic series in Bengali,mostly from '80s...hopefully someday we will dig more...for now,enjoy this title....

The probable list of  issues....

BTT #5 : Bagha-r Kirti!!

• Original Strip : TIGER
• Author & Artist : Bud Blake
• Original Run :  1965 - 2003

 This US humor strip(sunday version) was introduced with the Bengali comic fans in the late '70s through Anandamela - the famous teen magazine - as Bagha(বাঘা)!! The translation was apt and that simply enhanced the fun-quotient of this popular strip!It has been siad that,at its peak, it was published internationally in some 400 newspapers!!
 Some names were simply catchy like Tiger(Bagha)'s stupid kid brother Punkinhead was renamed as Haru(হারু), that dog Stripe as Kutua(কুতুয়া) etc! :)
 In this post I have compiled 20 such sunday strips from my little collection of AMs from the period  '79 - '84.
And I will request Indranathda,the fellow blogger and one of the BTT members,to come forward with the rest of the Bagha's strips from his huge collection of AM from the said period so we can enjoy more of these strips! :)
