IJC#55 COMIC RESEARCH: UNPUBLISHED BENGALI COMICS

ABAR PHIRE ELAM..

 I know guys..its been more than 2 months, i've not posted a single ijc..sorry for that..though my old computer is "still working", but m having problems with the newer one(i.e. my laptop)! Anyway, last time I said that m doing a comic research which includes all kinds of bengali comics like phantom, mandrake, archie, henry, tintin etc. Well, in last 4-5 months, i've been doing this research..& thanks to this research, i came to know so many types of comics & their history, that i cant even count them..sotty, ae kota maase ami ja info peyechi ta niye ekta choto khato "comic history" lekha jetei paare..But, if i try to write history in my blog, it would b really very long..so ek-ekdin ek-ekta topic/sub niye discuss korbo..& let me tel u one more thing..i've started this research, kintu kobe sesh hobe jani na, as none of the comic researches are complete!!.. There are senior bloggers/collectors than me, just like our Mr. Hojo/mahasthobir etc, who can help in completing my research..

TODAY OUR RESEARCH TOPIC is : BAHADUR BERAL

BAHADUR BERAL: (the "Brave cat" in bengali)..of course, all the bengali comic lovers know him..created by the creator of famous Handa-bhonda n Batul, Narayan Debnath.

This funny "beral" does not have any special power.. But it has a great presence of mind by which it truly amazes people of every age, from a kid to an old man.1st published in 1983(১৩৯০ শুকতারা, source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narayan_Debnath)

Recently, Lalmati prakashan published "BEST of Bahadur Beral" in 2 vols..But both parts are missing some stories of Bahadur Beral..before this, Dev sahitya kutir had published "Bahadur Beral Samagra"..i dont have this book..till now, here's the unpublished comics of bahadur beral that i found in shuktara..

M sure that this is not all, so if any of u guys have the samagra book, then pls check this pages if the book has them..& also let me know if i miss any story/issue(that's not present in any of the books)

I've heard of duplications of Narayan Debnath's arts..& its a fact that even bahadur beral has also some duplications, dont know the original one..but comic readers eta dekhlei easily dhorte parben..dialouges might not b the same, but the pics & the story is almost same!!
no.1-


no.2-


So, the following info are missing:
1. THE 1ST ISSUE OF BAHADUR BERAL- Published in which month(bengali) & what was the story
2. THE LAST ISSUE- Published in which month?..the story?
3. Among this two duplication, which one is the original? were any more issue/stories duplicated?

Asking all the visitors & senior bloggers to look for ans. of this question..THE ANSWERS, if find out..will be updated in here & also in the wikipedia.

To be very honest, all of the bengali comics are missing some info..so, my research is yet to b completed.

Ebar aasi indrajal e

as we all know, in bengali ijc 1-22, 101 & 102 were never published..but #22 was translated..yes, m talking about Ranjanda..the guy who had scanned #1 BENGALI FOR FIRST TIME EVER..& had translated #22 as "KALO MUKTAR KANTOHAAR"..

Ranjanda, tomar mone ache kina jani na..kintu tomar ae post ta dekhar por ami tomake eng 1-21 er "bengali title" suggest korechilam..though all of them didn't sound good..e.g.


Hoping sobar #1(22) er kotha mone ache..thik sei hisebei eta korlam..#8(15)

Though said "translated", its actually a remix version..like all old eng ijcs were used to be..this has the gold key version of the story & another b/w story that was published in ANANDAMELA, pujabarshiki ১৩৯৯।It also includes a special comic quiz published in আনন্দমেলা , 1988. This was separate from the original series ,that began in 03.03.1993(from the story THE FOURTH SON)-2003(story THE SHIPWRECKERS obdhi). THEN again, the series restarted from 2008 up to 2012.





Need to update: 1. In the page, it is written that the 1st series ran till 2004, but the list shows up to 2003! pls correct this info
2. Few stories are missing starting date, some are missing the end date.
3.What was the latest story?i mean after sepetember-october 2012, were any more stories published?

Asking again all the bloggers/visitors to help..so the wikipedia pages can be updated..
