Dear ComiRades,
There are many Comics Memorabilia that we would have collected. The Lion Comics Key Chain, The Prakash Publishers T-Shirt, Lion Comics Comics Album, Rani Comics Note Book Labels, Prakash Publishers Seasons Greetings etc. However, the one that am going to Show is quite different from the rest of the ones that i have mentioned over.
Am talking about the Dice Game (தாய விளையாட்டு) that was given with the 50th Special issue of Lion Comics (Dragon Nagaram). Have a Look at the Cover Scan of the 50th issue & the 1st page where the miniature version of the game is shown. Unlike Many ComiRades, I was not living in Chennai, Tamil Nadu at the time this Issue got released. Hence, the only contact for me with this dice game was that picture showing the game in the 1st page of the book. Have a look at the month of Publication & you will realise that our previous post on James Bond Comics issue no.1 was also released at the same time. What a Co-Incidence.
I sincerely believe that there will be many ComiRades who will be in the same position as of yours truly. Hence I just wanted to start this section where the comics memorabilia will be updated for those who came in late. So, Have a close look at this very rare Dice game. If anyone who has this dice game, Take a Snap / Scan of the same and mail it to tamilcomicsulagam@gmail.com and who knows, you may end up getting a surprise gift from the TCU Team. (Well, TCU stands for Tamil Comics Ulagam, of Course).
Here comes the Surprise element of the post. The Dice game has a origin. The Scream Magazine Has given the same with their 1986 Holiday special. Here is the scan of the same.
Now, Now. Hasn't this post turned to be different? If so, all credit goes to My Partner in crime Dr.Sathish who reminded of this timely so that we can start a new section on comics memorabilia.
Hope you liked this new section. Based on the comments and suggestions, we can start new sections like this in our Blog. All you need to do is, hit the comments section and pen your thoughts on this.
Many a ComiRade may question that our next ComiPost is advertised as James Bond issue no 2 & we are uploading this as a sudden thought. Not truly, sir. Our series still continues with the second issue of James Bond comics issue no.2 as the next post. Wait for that.
Well, That's all for the time being. Thanks for all your support on keeping this blog alive and don't forget to add your views in Comments section.
Thanks & Regards,
King Viswa.
