IJC#54 OLD COMPUTER!

REALLY VERY SORRY guys!..u guys must b thinking i was busy, ..but i was not busy..not at all..
even i had scanned 2 bengali comics long time ago, 1 was partly cleaned & the other was left..the only reason y i couldn't post is my 16-17 YEARS OLD COMPUTER!

yes, that was the 1st computer that was brought in our home..i used it always until 5-6 months ago(now using  mainly a laptop)..but its main problem is..sometimes, it totally stops working..doesn't even start..i tried to work on that for many days, restarted several times but still it didn't work!..

Its a really old computer..of around 1996, hard disk was replaced 3 years ago or more..P4 processor..ram was very small(256 mb), now 512 mb..this problem had occured several times before but i didn't care much as sometimes it got started by itself!!

In this laptop, m using windows vista..but this doesn't support my scanner driver..it supports windows xp..so couldn't use my scanner in this one..

So, whenever my "old computer" worked, i did a bit scan, & a bit of cleaning..as soon as the cleaning part was almost ready, suddenly it restarted by itself..& stopped working!..for last 2 months its been like this..i was thinking of changing its parts(may b the processor)..last night only, suddenly it started by itself & started working..mone hoy amar purono comp. amar kache thakte chailo!!

Meanwhile, i would like to tell all the bloggers & the visitors, that m doing a research about old n lost bengali comic/strips('HARIYE JAWA BANGLA COMICS)..which includes all bengali comics that was ever published..starting from the 50's till 2day, like bengali ijc, ack, narayan debnath's works, & many other comic characters..henry, tarzan, flash-gordon, all of them!

going to make a post about this very soon & also a facebook page..but my research is yet not complete..not even one single character..besh kichu info peyechi, but ekhono onek baaki ache..& the more i search it, it becomes bigger & bigger!!I'll post about this atleast when one research is complete..

In the last post, i had mentioned about collectors & their collection..guys, pls check this page: http://www.facebook.com/ShowMeUrCollection?ref=hl i've invited all the bloggers there..& all of u can "show me ur collection"! anybody can post..its just a request(pls try to make a video & then post).. there will b more collection topics discussed later, but 1st..

IJC #53 COLLECTORS & THEIR COLLECTIONS

People collect lot of things..e.g. novels, post-cards, magazines, posters, & many things like that..among those many things some people collect comics..thanks to those people who collect this type of rare books looking everywhere for them in the market & later putting it on the blog after scanning & cleaning the pages..

So, its quite a hard work..1st of all u need to search for them, then scan it, upload it & then put it in a blog so that all the viewers can see it..truly, without collectors..there wont be any such rare comic posted in a blog..

Now, some people used to collect, but they don't do that anymore..some r still collecting, like me..looking for the missing issues..& those who don't collect anymore, become very nostalgic seeing their old childhood companion..comics!!..some people collect all kinds of comics, some collect old ones only, & some collect just 1-2 type comics(like ijc & ack)..

m collecting comics for almost 8-9 years..i've a lot of collection..currently about 730+ ijcs & others..i started with ijc, later started collecting other comics also like gold key, richie rich, laurel-hardy, dc & marvel comics etc..in past few years i've met many collectors who have been collecting for 15-20 years, some are for 30 years or more..& still, somehow they couldn't complete their collection..something is still missing..& they would do almost anything to get that rare issue!

Today i give u one of the best shaped copies of ijc in my collection..

IJC#51 ITS NOT OVER!

After more than 3 months, m back in the fileld of blogging & scanning..

all the bloggers must b thinking that why m back & what took me so long??..nope, not exams..it was something else, much bigger than the exams..

i was going to prepare for exams, but just few weeks before my exam..my father was going to his office near saltlake, kolkata..by his bike..& was hit by a bus! some local traffic police saw him, took him into the nearest hospital & called us(me, my sister, other family members) from my father's cell phone..

the accident happend at 29th march..3 months ago..accidents like this happend before also, but they were minor..this was the major accident my father ever had..his right elbow is fractured..& right scapula is broken into 5-6 parts..

m in blogging for more than 2 years..but only few know that my mother is also ill, she had a cerebral attack about 4 years ago..she was paralyzed, hasn't recovered yet..& my father used to look after her..

so, i was very upset mentally..i couldn't prepare for my exams..i had to do all work that my father used to do..weeks passed, but i couldn't do anything..later when he got back home, i had to go out with him when he went for some official work..

its been a really tough time for me..& m back because i cant stay without blogging..specially when there's no bengali ijc posted for more than 3 months..really sorry for the visitors, but other bloggers might have some reason too..

well, guys m back here to say..its not over!

IJC#49 My attraction towards comics

Na..r parlam na!..r parlam na nijeke aatke raakhte..abar phire elam comic scanning r blogging er duniya te..

its been a long long time..isn't it guys?..almost 4 months..& to tell u the very truth, m really busy now a days..preparing for job related exams in a center..

kintu, tobuo, ami comic chara thakte paarini..r konodino paarbo bole mone hoy na..had scanned one bengali ijc long time back, but could not post only..cleaning was left..

besides, the book's cover got cut due to binding..though the book is in good shape..

well, thanks to ebay..i got the scan of another cover of the same issue(some seller had kept it for selling in a huge price..)..it was in bad shape than mine, but still it had the cut-out part..

so, i printed it, joined its parts & rescanned it..dekhun to..kemon hoyeche..


Indrajal comics Bengali#24(15th july, 1967)

download: http://www.mediafire.com/?b34ic2fzxa26r2k

just have a look & u guys can understand from where it was cut..1 The "mandrake o" part & 2 sonkhya(no.) 24..only 2 was there(4 was cut)..so the shopkeeper was thinking he got issue#2!

Though all after this copy of mine is missing a page..i believe probably its an add page..

so, asking all other bloggers to scan the missing page..besides, its the 1st ever bengali mandrake ijc..

HAPPY SARASWATI PUJA to all visitors..
