Hello There,
I recently did a "Indian Comics" Special of my magazine THE WORLD'S COMIC. I was able to cover Muthu/Lion as well as Diamond Comics but could find no contact addresses or web sites for other Indian publishers such as Rani.

As I want to do a follow up issue could someone PLEASE supply me withsuch addresses -I need them as soon as possible?

Regards to all,
Terry Hooper

HI V,
Thanks for the information. However I am not familar with the address you gave me. Is there a fuller web address that you can give me please? Is there something I need to do first in order to get to the site you listed?
Thanks,
Dave.

Review of Latest Muthu comics:
Yaanai kallarai. Starting from the cover, the issue is really excellent. After a long time I am reading a breathe taking story cover to cover. The story line was unusual and the sketches were very clear. With action and suspense, the story was very interesting. We could feel the change in altitude and climate when we read the story. This shows that the sketches are realistic. Finally a good selection of story.

Sorry folks, all those hoping to find Curly Wee books might as well start searching for King Solomon's mines. I got my copies about 18 to 20 years ago and even then it was not easy. I have been searching ever since. I used to deal in comics here in the UK so I got to know just about every source there was. However, there is always hope,I'm still trying. England is a strange place for finding the unsual.Just because it's a small country doesn't mean to say that once it's been searched something won't pop up the very next day.
Bye the way,the story about wreckers working on the Cornish coast mentioned by Claire was called 'The Ugly Kid'

Dave,

What V is pointing you to is not a web site but a usenet news group. You need to ask your ISP how to set up access to their news server, and then subscribe to the newsgroup. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Is anyone out there interested in UK Classics Illustrated and their related items?

[doctorzlo]

Is curly wee a british comic?

[HedgeYourBets]

Dear ERB
Thank you for that. Hopefully once I get good scans of my comic work I can send a few samples as attachment to you?

Can you open ZIP files?

Thanks again and THANKS for the article on Indian comics!
Terry

Dave,

If you are a comic lover try and visit the usenet newsgroup news://alt.binaries.pictures.comics . You will find a lot of like minded people there. They even swap comic books online! You may be able to find news of comics you are interested there.

Also if you do IRC, try logging in to newnet IRC and join the channels #comicbooks and #hacsa. Lot of people swap online digital versions of old comics like spiderman etc.

I decided to look for refs. to Curly Wee in Google and came upon this discussion. I was an avid reader of that comic strip too. Each year we had an annual and I remember one called 'Curly Wee and the Golden Galleon'. Does anyone remember the year of that annual or have any other info about who wrote the strip and whether it continued elsewhere after The Mail closed down?

[PhillipHer]

Hi,
Curly wee started as a newspaper strip comic in the Liverpool Echo paper England. It was also printed in the Irish Mail Dublin and the Madras Mail India. Once a year a annual was produced. This usually contained three full length stories in colour(unlike the newspaper black & white stories). This annual was a hardback with coloured front and rear cover illustrations. I hope this is of use tou you, Dave.

[9mm_fan]

So what was your offer for the package 1?

[Raj_Copi_Jin]

Don't lose hope! I managed to track down 2 Curly Wee annuals from second hand shops in the UK earlier this year, each costing about £40. I did this by regularly checking their stocklists on the internet until eventually I tracked them down. I think the website was called www.booksearch.com which is American. The website will produce the title and try to sell it to you for at least twice the price the bookseller is selling it for. Some investigation (easy if you are in the UK) will lead you to the actual bookseller and from them you can get it at the 'real' price. Keep trying!
