31 Review N5: Muthu Comics # 311 Norungiya Naanal Marmam - நொறுங்கிய நாணல் மர்மம் – Detective Julian – Buck Ryan – Feb 2009

Dear ComiRades,

Those who are blessed with Sharp Memory can recall that Muthu Comics No. 309 was On Sale from the 1st week of July 2008 (சித்திரமும் கொல்லுதடி) Featuring Nick Raider (C.I.D ராபின் in Muthu Comics) and Muthu Comics No. 310 was on sale from 28th Oct 2008 (After a Gap of 105 Days) பொன்னில் ஒரு பிணம் featuring Martin Mystery (மர்ம மனிதன் மார்டின் in Muthu Comics).

So, after 98 Days Yours Truly received Muthu Comics Issue No 311 today (3rd Feb 2009). The first issue from Prakash Publishers in this particular year. The feeling was ecstatic and can't be described in words. However, there is a big danger of this kind of Schedule: What happens normally when you receive a book after a gap of 3 months, your expectation level goes up day by day while waiting for the book and when the story turns out to be a normal to average one, the reader gets angry. Mr S.Vijayan, the Famed editor of Muthu Comics, must consider this also.

The Latest issue of Muthu Comics is titled as Norungiya Naanal Marmam - நொறுங்கிய நாணல் மர்மம் (The Case of the Broken Thistle) featuring Buck Ryan who is Christened as “Detective Julian” in Muthu Comics (for reasons known to the Editor himself). This is Detective Julian’s third adventure to get published in Lion Comics. The first two adventures didn’t create much impact with the ComiRades. However, the title of the latest issue itself has created a lot of ripples in the comics circle.The arrival of this book has also eased some of the pain from watching my favourite Tennis Player Roger Federer losing (Again) to Rafael Nadal (Who has the support of our comics Doctor) in the Epic Men’s Singles Final of Australian Open 2009 Day Before Yesterday.

The Storyline is very much similar to what has now been registered as “Buck Ryan – Detective Julian Style” whereby the story unfolds with lots of twists and the way the case is solved is a classic case of how to move a detective thriller. Kindly read the story as TCU is in No Mood to disclose the storyline, as a norm over the reviews and also to keep the ComiRades enthusiasm till they get this book.

Detective Julian was Actually introduced to the Tamil ComiRades By Rani Comics under the Name Rayan (துப்பறியும் நிபுணர் ராயன்), Which was very close to his original Name Ryan. Kudos to Mr Ramajayam who was instrumental in bringing this wonderful character to Tamil Language. Buck Ryan has appeared in 4 Stories when Mr RamaJayam was planning the issues (3 of them got published while he was in charge and 1 got published when he left Rani Comics). Here are the Details of the issues in which Ryan made his presence in Rani Comics.

As per the latest trend in TCU, Here are the details of the Creative People behind this wonderful comics. It was very tough to get the background details of the creative people and TCU has done the very best to provide the maximum details possible. Apologies for Not getting Their Photo’s, Though.

Jack Monk, The creator of Buck Ryan, Graduated from the Bolton art school and made his debut as, of all departments, a sports illustrator for the Bolton Evening News. He subsequently worked for the Evening Chronicle.Later on He Joined The Daily Express. In 1934, he created two comic strips for the Daily Express - 'Can You Beat It?' and 'The Funny Side of Northern Towns'. These two kept Jack Monk busy for two years.Later on, he joined the Daily Mirror and made an adaptation of Edgar Wallace's 'Terror Keep' with Don Freeman. That was the first time that Jack Monk was working with Freeman.

In 1937, ‘Terror Keep’ ran into Copyright Issues and the Writer-Artist Duo had to stop working on that title. That was the time they decided to go for their own strip series without any "Inspiration" 'Buck Ryan. The strip ran in The Daily Mirror from 22 March 1937 to July 1962. 25 Years of run for a strip. Amazing run, indeed. However, Only when Compared to "Kanni Theevu - கன்னி தீவு" of Tamil Daily Thina Thanthi தினத்தந்தி, this longevity gets diluted.

The profile of Buck can be defined as: Young British private investigator, brown-haired and two-fisted, Battles crime and evil wherever he found it, whether the criminals were kidnapers, German spies, or more interesting villains like the crime boss, Twilight. Buck had a habit of taking in reformed villainesses as his sidekicks. The stories of Buck Ryan are often described as Slow by the present generation of ComiRades, who fail to understand the subtle variations that keep the mystery element engaging till the very end. Slow, May Be. Boring – Never.

In the Mid 1960s, Monk started working for the comic magazines by Fleetway and D.C. Thomson, and created 'Commander Cockle' in Lion, 'Wee Tusky' in Sparky, 'Inspector Jellicoe' in Hornet and 'Million Pound Mutt' in Debbie. A Complete research on these magazines show that apart from Buck Ryan, no other work of Jack Monk appeared in Tamil Language, Or for that matter, in India.

  2. Me the first... Haven't received the copy yet. But looking at your post... It looks you had it prepared for a long time, just waiting to receive the copy (I too did the same, but only with 50% of your data). Way to go Viswa.

    Since you have covered the majority of the details already, I can take my time to review the title at Comicology.

    இந்தப் புத்தகம் எனக்குப் போன வாரம் வெள்ளியன்றே கிடைத்து விட்டது. ஆனால் நான் இருப்பது வேறு ஊரில் என்பதால் ‘கொரியர்’-ல் வரவழைத்து படித்து விட்டேன்.

    கதையை விட அதைப் பற்றி நீங்கள் கொடுத்துள்ள பின்புலத் தகவல்கள் சுவாரசியமாக உள்ளன!

    தகவல்களை முந்தித் தருவது தமிழ் காமிக்ஸ் உலகம் என்பதை மீண்டும் மீண்டும் நிரூபித்து வரும் உம்மை எவ்வளவு பாராட்டினாலும் தகும்!

    ரோஜர் மூர் பதிவை விரைவில் எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன்!

    ஒர் பதிவிற்காக நீங்கள் செய்த முன் ஆயத்தங்கள் என்னை அசர வைத்துவிட்டன.

    பாராட்டுக்கள்,வாழ்த்துக்கள்.தேடலும்,உழைப்பும் இணைந்த பதிவு தோல்வி அடைவது இல்லை என்பதற்கு உங்களிடமிருந்து மற்றுமோர் உதாரணம்.

    அற்புதமான ஸ்கேன்கள், இதழ்களை நேரில் பார்த்த உணர்வை ஏற்படுத்தின என்றால் அது மிகையல்ல.

    இதழ் கையில் கிடைத்ததும் படித்து விட்டு என் வோட்டை அளிக்கிறேன்.

    லயன் காமிக்ஸ் பற்றிய பிந்திய தகவல்களிற்கு நன்றி. ஆனால் மீண்டும் ஒர் மாண்ட்ரெக்கா.. தாங்கமுடியாது சாமி. ஆறுதல் தருவது மாயாவியின் கதையினைப் பற்றிய அறிவிப்பு.

    என் பதிவினை சிறப்பாக குறிப்பிட்டதிற்கு நன்றிகள்.

    உற்சாகத்துடன் தொடருங்கள்.

  5. கிங் விஸ்வா அவர்களே,

    எங்களுக்கு எல்லாம் இன்னும் புத்தகம் வரவில்லை. ஆனால் நீங்கள் என்னடா வென்றால் இப்படி ஒரு அருமையான பதிவு இட்டு உள்ளீர்கள்.

    இதில் இருந்தே லயன் காமிக்ஸ் அலுவலகத்தில் உங்களுக்கு வேண்டிய நபர் யாரோ உள்ளார்கள் என்பது தெளிவாக தெரிகிறது.

    எனக்கு ஒரு சந்தேகம்: இந்த பரலோகப் பரிசு கதை உண்மையில் டேடேக்டிவே ஜூலியன் கதை தானா? எனென்றால் அதில் உள்ள படங்களும் கதை அமைப்பும் பெர்ரி மேசன் கதை போலவே இருக்கும். சற்று கவனியுங்கள்.

  6. Interesting article--none of the Saint artwork looks to have been reprinted from other Saint strips which makes me wonder where the strip originated.

    A comic strip written by Charteris did run for 13 years throughout the 40s, 50s and 60s and a collection of it will be available soon.

    Moore details will be posted on my web site at www.lesliecharteris.com

  7. From The Desk Of Rebel Ravi:

    Viswa,

    Nice update on the latest muthu comics. keep it up. you are doing a great job.

    as mentioned by the other bloggers, your pre-work before the comics release is really amazing and the new format (with creators info and previous books of the same heroes) is something you must continue from now onwards.

    by the way, did you know that roger moore story is going to come in this issue earlier? or is it a last minute addition?

    one more thing: what happened on the lion comics size issue? any updates on that?

    Rebel Ravi,
    Change is the Only constant thing in this world.

  8. கிங் விஸ்வா ஜி,

    இந்த பதிவை பாராட்டும் அதே சமயத்தில் சில பல கேள்விகளை என்னால் கேட்காமல் இருக்க முடியவில்லை. மன்னிக்கவும்:

    1. இந்த நொறுங்கிய நாணல் மர்மம் அட்டை படம் ஒரு ஆங்கில நாவல் அட்டை படத்தை நினைவு படுத்தியது. எனக்கு சரியாக நினைவு இல்லை. நண்பர்கள் (ரபிஃ ராஜ, காமிக்ஸ் டாக்டர், ஜோஸ், முத்து விசிறி, புருனோ பிரேஜில்) நினைவு படுத்தவும்.

    2. பரலோகப் பரிசு புத்தகம் உண்மையில் ஜூலியன் கதையே கிடையாது. அது டிரேக் அல்லது பெர்ரி மேசன் கதையாக இருக்க கூடும். நீங்கள் உள் படங்களை கூர்ந்து கவனித்தால் அது உங்களுக்கு புலப்படும். நமது விஜயன் சாரின் திரு விடையாளல்களில் இதுவும் ஒன்று.

    3. ரோஜர் மூர் கதை லயன் செஞ்சுரி ச்பெச்சளில் வந்தது அல்லவா? என்ன கொடுமை. அதை ஜேம்ஸ் பாண்ட் என்று கூறுவார் நமது விஜயன் சார்.

    4. மேலும் இந்த ஸ்பெஷல் புத்தகம் தான் மிகவும் சர்ச்சைக்குரிய ஸ்பெஷல் ஆகும். ஏனெனில் இதில் தான் இரண்டு டூப்ளிகேட் கதைகள் (ரோஜர் மூர் = ஜேம்ஸ் பாண்ட் மற்றும் பேட்மேன் = ஸ்ப்ய்டர்) வெளி வந்தன.

    செழி.


    பின் குறிப்பு: நான் ஏற்கனவே கூறியது போல மர்ம மனிதன் மார்டின் கதைகளை பற்றி ஒரு கேள்விக் குறி எழுப்பி உள்ளார் திரு விஜயன் சார். இதன் பின் புலம் நமக்கு தெரியும் அல்லவா? (ஆங்கிலத்தில் வந்த மார்டின் கதைகள் எல்லாம் முடிந்து விட்டன. எனவே என்ன நடக்கும் என்று நான் ஏற்கனவே வினா எழுப்பி இருந்தேன். உங்களுக்கு நினைவிருக்கும்). என்ன கொடுமை சார் இது?

  9. விஸ்வா,

    இப்போதே கதையை படிக்க தூண்டும் பதிவு.

    புத்தகம் கைக்கு வந்தவுடன் என்னுடைய மதிப்பெண்'ஐ அளிக்கிறேன்.

    இந்த கதையை பற்றிய உங்கள் ஆராய்ச்சிக் கட்டுரை மிகவும் அருமை.

    நன்றி.

  11. Since Muthu Fan and Rafiq both claimed "me first" can I also claim "Me first"? :)

    Very nice and interesting post. Thanks to Viswa for compiling such an interesting article.

    I am not very excited about the classics comics coming out in original size. I wish Vijayan had chosen a real classic like "Uraipani Marmam" or "Beirutil Johnny" to come out in original size instead of some unknown garbage like "Vinveli kollaiyar" which I have never even heard of before. But then, I am an older reader who stopped reading comics after 1981, and missed out on the greatest comic revival period in the Lion/Muthu history. As some of you know, I started reading Muthu since the very first issue in 1972. For me those are the real classics....

  15. Dear ComiRades,

    Thanks for all those wonderful souls who took their Precious little time to visit this humble blog and comment on it.

    There is a Small anecdate that i have to complete before i proceed to the queries part: Yours Truly is yet to receive the Book till today. Yes Sir. That is 100% true and can be confirmed by the fact on the number of calls that am making to the Publishers for the last 10 days. TCU Got the news that the book is despatched to some of the subscribers 2 weeks back and i've traced it to the local person and got the book after a lot of travelling and hard work (That is a big and interesting story which i will share later).

    So, Rafiq - There goes the news. TCU is just another subsciber to the publishers and does not get a Royal welcome.

    Muthu Fan: Of late, it has become a FAD that whenever TCU does a Post, Muthu Fan will be the 1st one to comment on. Ofcourse, the Communication tools and Time difference also play a vital part. By the way, when Muthufan says that it is a brilliant post, Well it has to be.

    Rafiq: Well, you are just next to the great Muthu Fan. And, yes, the stories are so nice ones. I Made it a point that i read them before i can start the post and couldn't put the book down as TCU is a big fan of Buck Ryan.

    பயங்கரவாதி டாக்டர் செவன்: நன்றி தலைவரே. உங்கள் நம்பிக்கையை நான் காப்பாற்றுவேன் என்றே தோன்றுகிறது.

    சங்கரவிஸ்வலிங்கம்: அயல் நாட்டு தலைவரே, இந்த மாண்ட்ரேக் கதை சிறப்பான ஒன்றாகும். இந்த கதை (தொடர்ச்சியும் உள்ளது) உங்களுக்கு மாண்ட்ரேக் மீது உள்ள கருத்தை மாற்றும் என்று நம்புகிறேன். ஆனாலும், நீங்கள் சொல்வது போல நமது எடிட்டர் மாண்ட்ரேக் கதைகளில் சற்று கவனம் செலுத்தி நாகம், எட்டு, மாண்ட்ரேக்'ன் ஆரம்ப காலம் போன்ற தொடர்களை வெளியிட்டால் நன்றாக இருக்கும்.

    க கொ க கூ: நண்பரே, நீங்கள் கூறும் இரண்டு கருத்துக்களில் முதல் கருத்துக்கு மறுப்பு தான் என் பதில். முதல் பத்தியை படித்தவுடன் புரிந்து இருக்கும் என்றே நம்புகிறேன். இரண்டாவது கருத்து - நீங்கள் கூறியது முற்றிலும் சரி.

    Hoppy Unitaz: thanks a ton for the visit and the comment. Hope that your post on the strips will be done very soon.

    Rebel Ravi: Thanks again for the continued support. No, i didn't know that Roger Moore story is going to come in that book as the second story. However, i had a plan and guess that among john steel, wes slade, roger moore, action cowboy steeve will be the second story. hence i planned it the way.

    Lion comics will continue in the same size and format as of right now. No need to worry.

    செழி; நன்றி. இந்த அட்டை படம் த செயின்ட் என்ற பெயரில் வந்த ரோஜர் மூர் கதையின் அட்டை படம் ஆகும்.

    அம்மா ஆசை இரவுகள் விசிறி: விரைவில் படித்து விட்டு மதிப்பெண் அளிப்பெர்கள் என்று நம்புகிறேன்.

    Anonymous; The answer for your query is already been done. Anyway, here is the contact Number: 04562 - 272649.

    BN USA: Thanks for your esteemed pressence over here. Yes, you can always claim that. By the way, Comics doctor is on the verge of posting a special blog post on Steel claw story vinveli kollaiyar. Kindly have a visit over there as well.

    Anonymous: Yes, you are right. But only the first part of the seris will be coming in Muthu as the second one (which is very similar and appeared in Diamond Comics Diegest) becomes stagnant after reading the first story.

    ஜோஸ்: சாமியோவ், கதையை நீங்கள் எல்லாம் ரசிக்கணும் என்பதால் தான் எதுவுமே சொல்லலை. ஆனால் நல்ல கதை என்று சொல்லி இருக்கிறேனே? கவனிக்கலையா?

    Anonymous 3: Next Lion comics issue features Phil Corrigan and it will be available in the month of march. The answer for your second query is already been done. Anyway, here is the contact Number: 04562 - 272649.

    Eternal Sunshine; Thanks for the visit and comment.
