  1. Good to see a revived media coverage for Chandamama and ACK's online presence.

    I had posted about Chandamama online presence in my blog sometime back, over here.

    There are some good collection items you can pick from there, and I wish all our comic stalwarts would make use of it.

  2. அய்யா,

    மிகவும் நன்று.

    ஆனால், இந்த க-Suvadi என்கிற இணைய தளத்தில் விஷ கிருமிகள் (Virus) பல உள்ளன, தயவு செய்து மக்களை அந்த தளத்திற்கு செல்ல வேண்டாம் என கூறுங்கள்.

    தகவலுக்கும் பதிவுக்கும் நன்றி.

  3. Hello,

    (1) these scans are not opening up.
    (2) The other site ka-suvadi is full of virusses.

    kindly take care of all these.

    i read your blog & hence it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not cause much damage to my PC.

    apart from all these, i do believe yours is the only blog on the news updation, content and nostalgia site for Tamil comics. why don't you try your hand with Tamil language?

    Ever Yours,
    Elavenil.

  4. From The Desk Of Rebel Ravi:

    Vishwa,

    This particular update on the comics news is, just as you have mentioned in the post itself, repetitive. Hence, there is nothing much to say other than appreciating you for bringing us into knowledge about the comics & related news.

    by the way, saw DRONA in DVD yesterday. it was not even an average film. the plot was basically borrowed from other films like phantom (the legacy), lord of the rings (ring there - amrut here), the mummy 1 (cult which keeps the secret), and many to which i failed to count.

    the most terrible fact is that i couldn't completely watch the movie and had to forward and forward the scnes to complete the DVD.

    Rebel Ravi,

    Change is the Only constant thing in this world.

  5. Dear vishwa,

    Dilwaale dulhaniya le jaayenge, hum dil de chukein sanam, hum aapki dil main rehtey hain, hum aapke hain kaun, roop ki rani & chooron ka raja, tu kiladi main anari, kiladiyonkan kiladi,etc.

    this is just to show that me also know hindi. Imagine if this is just a glimpse, then the total volume of my hindi knowledge.

    jokes apart, you are continuing your good work on the news updation, new comics review, nostalgia, trivia (what happened to the answers sir? who won), etc.

    all the best.

  6. I hope everyone had a chance to download the old chandamama issues from the archives at the Chandamama site.

    I see now that they have removed all the files except for some 3 years in the 50's.

  7. BN: ERB did alert me about the removal of the archives. Obviously, Chandamama would have recognized that this might be brooding all illegal file sharing. I didn't get time to download all, may be someone else would have done and might be sharing to others sooner.

    By the way, they are now slowly moving all their archives to QuickTime format.

  11. Tamil: http://browsefiles.blogspot.com/ site does not exist.

    Rafiq: I don't think chandamama whould have had any concerns about illegal downloads as they are the ones who were providing the files for download to start with, anyway. I think they removed the content so that their reissue of the classics in the new glossy book will get some sales.

    Nice One on the news about comics blog. even on magazines like Uyirmmai, they write occasional articles on Comics. Have you tried them out? Check out for kanaiyaazhi as well.

    By the way, have you heard about Runaway Comics? while browsing, i came across this:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaways_(comics)

    This story line is very much related to us & even the poster looks very familiar.

    can you help out on this?
