UPDATE : The download link has been added. Please download it and tell me that is it really painful to read classic B/W strips?
I know, Flash Gordon is not as popular as Phantom or mandrake,still I love him,he is the part of indrajal community, so, every character, indrajal has published is lovable to me. After posting Phantom,mandrake and bahadur,I'm trying something new, posting a Flash Gordon Classic BW by Dan Barry, brother of Sy Barry. The name of the strip is The space prison.
I'm planning to post these strips frequently (once a week). Please give me your frank feedback, whether I should post these or I should stick to Indrajals only.Meanwhile, enjoy this rare vintage.

I am 1st.
Great looking strip. must be a treat to read. thanks a lot.
Always late....
Well,ICC,frankly speaking I don't like Rip,Flash,Garth,Mike Nomad as much as i love the top 3.
But then this is ICC,a club for all characters.So no arguments.
Your effort is praiseworthy.
Keep up the great effort.
Thnx a lot!!Dan Barry was superb frm his VERY FIRST work....only for him,I'm an ardent fan of Flash! (if NOT compare with P/M ;-))
Please give me your frank feedback, whether I should post these or I should stick to Indrajals only
Frank feed-back?? Then I shud confess,what's the problem with visitors?? I think anything good,b it strips OR IJC ,is perfect....and don afraid of lack-of-popularity...
U urself got the stat..... how amny visitors were came here OR still how many visitors visit TCP - a dead blog from last 3 months!!
It's MORE an addiction than anything!
Hi guys
Flash Gordon is a member of our IJC family and is always welcome. Flash, his GF Dale Arden,his buddy Zarkov and his perpetual enemy Ming the Merciless with his cunning but sexy daughter princess Aura who used to dote on Flash are all our childhood buddies. May be we dont rate them as highly as the Phantom or discuss them endlessly on our blogs, they are still our loved and cherished characters. So please dont feel ashamed.
My sister had a crush on Blonde Flash when she was 10 or something over 35 yrs ago, she used to hate Dale Arden hence I used to call her Aura and still tease her when sometimes she gets into her bitchy mode.
No we cant forget IJC extended family. So bring them all....

Ok! I like Phantom, Mandrake, Flash Gordon, Rip Kirby!!!!
Yes, one adventure of them every week!
Very well!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Please post Dan Barry strips at least once a week. And I vote for posting the Rip Kirby Strips also!
I am not very keen on the Alex Raymond drawn Gordon strips. Dan was a better artist than Alex.
Similarly, for Rip Kirby, John Prentice was a better artist than Alex Raymond.
Do you have any Al Wiliamson Corrigan strips? That is something I absolutely love!
Ravi Gokhale: Flash Gordon is not a "blonde" :o)
He is blond. :o) (just pulling your leg..forgive me)
Well, my personal taste is that I prefer comics to comic strips. Flash Gordon comics are ok (I never did get much into them back then though! I used to prefer Phantom, Mandrake, and Bahadur. Occasionally, I'd get into Garth or Aditya or Flash!)
But still, I guess people do love the strips.
Thanks,
Aditya
Chandan, I remember when I was 10 years old, whenever indrajal announced that next adventure would be a flash story, or anything other than P/M, I was slightly disappointed. Very few flash stories I liked (and understood well) at that time. It was later that I realised the true sensation of those.
If only P/M/B are posted on these blogs, soon only non P/M/B will remain un-posted everywhere. Would you like to constantly read only those?
can we see dome gold key phantom comics apart from the ones available on the site another free comics blog site?

Col: though i have every praise for dan barry and john prentice works, alex raymond is not that bad. just take a look at this:
http://heykidscomics.com/blog_ripkirby.jpg.
but for some unknown reasons his work in comics published and posted doesn't match his real standards. don't know why.
personally I love comic strips as much as comics. I have never before read a flash strip. Although it was just a little hard to follow the lettering I got used to it.
Many thanks.
Just like salt to a curry, Flash will add flavour to the blog.
You have published Flash comics before, it is more than welcome and thank you for bringing this rare comics to us.
It is a great previlage to be coming to this blog always.
I like Flash but I dont like black and white comics- they are such a pain to read- no fun
krishna
all: sorry, could'nt reply earlier as i was suffering from a fever,( still suffering), will post dl link as soon as possible
tph: thanks, its a gr8 strip, will dl asap
chandan: thanks, but the problem is, once these comics get published, then what?
sagnik: thanks dear, thanks for ur valuable info, its always nice to hear from u
all: can't comment any further. please bear with me
Chandu: take care.
Dr sagnik: Another query. Did Indrajal ever published Phantom D086 The Mystery of the Island of Dogs?
ICC,take care.Hope u get well soon.
Dear all,i just mentioned my choice.I never forced anybody to post onlY P/M/B.i was just mentioning my choice.Infact I like to see some Rip,Flash,Drake,dara,Aditya,bruce--lee etc.
But the top 3 hold a special place for me.What's wrong in that?
Recently,AA posted loads of Flash on his blog?Still people are demanding more and more Flash.Did I object?
Now i'll have to really think twice before requesting any P/M/B.
By the way,I love Bahadur and wud very much like to see Gang of Imposters/Child lifters/Double trap/Invisible saviour,also requested by some others.Tell me ,how many of Bahadur comics have been posted so far?So?
Come on.....
I sincerely hope Bahadur is posted next,atleast 2 of mentioned ones.
He needs a place here.Please ICC,take a note of this.
No hurry,get well first.Comics can always come later.But let it be Bahadur.
I'd like to see more Flash Gordon Comics. I am from Vienna/Austria and visit your great blog very often. Keep up the fine work!
Chandu,
Get well soon! Take a lot of rest.
#Chandan: You seems to be an extremely sensitive man. Come on. How can anybody be having any objection to your, and for that matter, anyones demands. All are free to request their own choices and to express their views. Its the varieties of flowers that make a garden beautiful.
I just love all indrajal characters.
ravi : thanks, Doc.. i will post them all one by one.. keep visiting this blog
ciro: thanks dear, still waiting for a artwork from u
col: thanks sir, u and ur friend ;- are genuine fans of flash gordon, ask it and get it...
i dont have the strips u mentioned, but i have some buz sawyer strips
col and ravi:
Blond or Blonde?
The words blond and blonde come from the French and follow somewhat the French pattern. Blond (without the e) is used to describe males, mixed gender, or uncertain gender. Blonde refers to women or female gender.
In modern use, blond is sometimes used for female as well as male, but blonde is preferred for female.
Aditya: pasand apni apni.. but these flash strips are very rare and indrajal never published barry strips as a comic
tph : u r absolutely right, thats what i want to tell everybody who doesnt like other than pbm (looks like physics, biology and maths !!!!! yukkkkkkkk)
krishna: i'm afraid, we can not, gk/k/c published in indrajals are ok ( i said ok) but otherwsie, difficult
is it really a pain to read.. i beg to differ... updated as matter of debate
#My Scholor TPH ;-):No, D086,D091 and D111 never published in IJCs with S080 n may b S081(not sure)
Now,the reson,as I read tose in DC n original strips,D86 nD91 have a controversial political connectn,that incld Asia n Russia.....so,may b ToI played safe n DIIDNOT post that!!....
Abt D111, it's bit American type,where Rex/Tom trying hard to convince Diana to marry Phantom....so that their Uncle Walker will have a heir ('air' in their word!!) etc...
P.S.- Dear TPH, followin' our ol' tradition,ToI played safe n even as I mentioned in prev. post ,they edit every part which either political/adult content.....be it edit Diana having a shower in skull-cave in nude OR Narda appered in slick Bikinies....which evetually became boring swimming costume upto '77 or so....later they realised their mistake! ;-))
Have fun!!
pattu: thanks dear, will post more
strphen: thanks for the compliments.. and salt is very much req. in our food,,
chandan: u emotional fellow ( i wanted to say fool but again u will become senti ;-))))
ur wishes will be granted,
i'm ok now, thanks for the concern
tph: thanks for the concern, i think dr. sagnik has given ur answer,
anon: thanks dear, welcome to this blog, please leave ur name nxt time
col
thanks sir, taking rest,
dr sagnik: how many strips have u read uptill now
indrajal never published barry strips as a comic
CHANDU, u did a terrible mistake....it shud b:Barry's Daily strips!!
If IJC never published dan Barry's Sunday strips....I never read it,dead sure!! And yes,they published a few early Daily one as well,as Lost Continent(Vol.25 No.46;D2-008 )and Deadly queen Mesala(25 -51)
Abt pain,wow!! Frankly,these B/W scans r far better than thosePhantom/mandrake B/W scans....still we enjoy those!! So,I don think THOSE GENIUNIE Flash fans have ANY objectn!
Again I asked u to....plse don take any random comments in heart. :-)
how many strips have u read uptill now
Many,mostly in paper form,as our Local Magazine published a lottsa Non-IJC Falk/Barry n Falk/mcCoy strips.....besides several scan with hapazard order! Though still few lef to read ...
NOTE:Have many chance to read Non-Falk Phantom/mandrake....tried afew ...n as a result NOT ONLY I abandaon those BUT my respect towards those gr8 persons like Falk/Barry/Mccoy/Davis/Fredricks NOW just unfathomable! :-))

You shudn't dare to!
Anupam(he don like AA as I)had published those 'loads' r NOT Indrajal but DC Maxy series(same story re-scripted ONLY) that NO body had demand 'cos NO body knew it's xsisitence... :-o))
Abt IJC-Flash he'd published only 2 since last month...:-/
See my frnd,as Chandu said, u r emotional F(ella/ool)....but then,shud take care others emotion as well!! ....
I'd told alredy that,don repeat ur demand-list....those Surti-bahadur r gem n will apper sooner/later in our blog....just give other's choice a bit of respect....
Also btwn don forget....it's me,Sagnik, WHO has DEDICATE an entire post on this INDIAN SUPER HERO....and unlike some,I love EACH n EVERY Bahadur,be it Surti's 12 OR uppal's rest 63!!
Have avery emotional connectn,BUT never demand CW for those 'White Ghost's dane ' OR 'Bandit chief'those I don have!!
Think u understand what I mean...
Now bye n cheers!!
N don become senti againnnnnn! ;-))
Lolzz
sagnik: i made a mistake, wanted to say about dailies.. thanks for pointing out and all other infos..
i see a big fight coming up
Dear ICC,
I think B/W strips especially old ones are easier read as a .cbr or .cbz file. So for these alone you could consider just gicing download link.
Dear Friends,
All of us are comic lovers. By virtue of being different human beings we all will have different passions. We will have to at least tolerate them if not accept them.
All blog owners (TCP, CW, ICC, MTM, TPH, Kit and Anupam) have all been patient with us and put up with our idiosyncracies. May I humbly suggest that we do the same and concentrate on enjoying these lovely comics.
Sincerely & affectionately yours,
GS
gs: thanks for ur concern,,, but i'm afraid,,, i see the big fight is coming up...
come on.. dont supress ur emotions .. let them come,...
i see the big fight is coming up...
Yeahhh!! Since long NO big fight happened! ;-))
Let's have a bigggggggggggggggggggggggggggg fight....but then it reqr the opponent...where is he??
Mone hoe,lej tule palieche! ;-)
he is at work., when he comes back.. he will write a longggggggggggg emotional post, tha will be espcially for u and me... " and i will ( sob.....!!!!) not demand anything from this blog or others," will be probably the last sentence of his comment..
dear, we are just pulling ur legs.. dont be so emotional
Chandu said:

hahahaha....xatly!!
But,the MOST funny part in his(Chandan) comments,if anybody ever noticed,WHENEVER He said that he'll NOT demand any,with finishing he mentioned as "I just have so much respect 4 u guys that i'd demand for Childlifter/Imposter---BAHADUR,River of fire/Missing daddy---PHANTOM"
hahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
He just CAN'T control his desire.....a nice fella indeed! :-))
Great Work! I love Flash Gordon Indrajals. This one was a treat.
sagnik: hahahahahhhhhhhhhhhh hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii hhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
now i cant control my emotions...
some of his "pearls"
1 Now i'll have to really think twice before requesting any P/M/B.
By the way,I love Bahadur and wud very much like to see Gang of Imposters/Child lifters/Double trap/Invisible saviour,also requested by some others.Tell me ,how many of Bahadur comics have been posted so far?So?
Come on.....
I sincerely hope Bahadur is posted next,atleast 2 of mentioned ones.
2 Wanted to be ist..sigh... had some wretched problem with internet.
Great effort,Icc.2 in 2 nothing more to ask..
Dear Icc,i request u to post a big post on u (as 50th),ur life and other things.Will know u better.
And the next post pls post either bahadur--Gang of imposters or PHANTOM--river of fire.
But sagnik's choices also on sarankhon par...I don't mind being last also.
Thanks for everything----Iam also v.v.v glad that my dear friend is back,yes---CW.Iam very happy today.
3 Beware....CW.Youngest?Well Iam a little naughty,very demandy,a little troublesome but a straightforward guy.I luv u all.And iam 32,married and a proud daddy.
that reminds me...somebody pls post MISSING DADDY---its not me but a Phantom Indrajal no.143.Wud love to see what it's all about.
Hope someone takes this up.....
4 Thanks---Desiguru and Ajay for fantastic scans.
Dear Ajay,I take pleasure in thanking u specially,u are like the music,blogs(ICC/MTM/AA/CW/TPH)are like songs.
Nice soothing music for songs nice to hear.
CW--please come back fast.(for posting the missing prince!!!! this is my addition)
and his biggie..
5 Iam disappointed,TPH started it and most of you supported him.
TPH---let me tell you,I don't like Garth,Rip,Flash and other characters compared to Phantom,Mandrake and Bahadur.Most of the comics when you started were repeated ones.Didn't I comment still?Didn't I comment yesterday?So?I even felt for u when a bitter understanding was taking place bet'n u and Sagnik on CW and wished you to be friends once again.
ICC--So you think only 3 were feeling for you.Very nice.I need not say anything further.That means you didn't get the hidden meaning I was trying to convey thru comments and mails,maybe u thought and saw only comics.Good.
MTM--I love you for what you are doing.From strips to Indrajals,only for us.But even you think the same?Do u really think its only comics we want?
Let me tell u something.I think we are all married.If a kid cries for a sweet,what do we do?Give.This happens many a time.Right?It so happens that when you come home in the evening,the 1st thing your kid asks"Have u brought me something"
What Iam trying to convey is,that"sweet"becomes a form of affection bet'n Father or Mother and their child.Does that mean the child loves just the sweet?Come on.
In the same way Comics has become a medium bet'n viewers and You all.
Its a form of love.
I can buy that viewers don't comment.Very right.But to say that we comment only for comics and not for you,well,I will never buy that.
In fact I have decided not to demand any, henceforth.Even if I have demanded or commented wrt comics,it was to show what a great service you are rendering people.Great selfless service.
To cheer u up,to show gratitude.
Well,I think all has been misunderstood.In fact I have posted a comment on CW since Iam missing him ,too.And that was yesterday.
Iam deeply hurt,specially by ICC,since he mentioned names.Rest all who musta felt for him were only comic lovers.Well...?
Bye everyone.
*************************
awesome posts....
i think i will not survive to post 50th comic!!!!
deb: thanks dear, keep visitng for more FG strips
Chandu:
hhahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
But,yes ....take guard!! He may bite ur **** ;-))...and then??
"Oooooooo Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Gooo" ----that will b ur cry!!
Lolzz
P.S.- Chandan:plse join with us....it's really goin' very amusing!without u,like Gopal Bhar of our IJC-community 50% of fun is OUT!!
The B/W comics are not difficult to read..they have a charm of their own. Please continue posting them..and oh, I'm a Phantom bigot. More phantoms please :)))
Now,forget demanding comics,I'll have to seriously think about commenting.
A big fight?Well,not necessary at this stage.I have just returned and in no mood(drained of all energy) for a big fight.Let me just freshen up,see my armament/ammunition and whether its good enough for making mincemeat out of u all and then decide.
A long list....well here comes another one.
Sagnik---U are a brat...one of these days u deserve a nice spanking from me.U talk big...
When Sagnik talks everyone listens(even if someone likes or not)---"Old Chandan saying".
Icc,ur cold has improved."2 HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE".So u along with sagnik have decided to take me on.Beware,the very sight of CHANDAN makes BIG MEN TREMBLE.This is going to be one of those sights.
TPH---Don't have answers right now....continue ur excellent work...
ICC,Sagnik---well,i can't walk properly.Iam not feeling too good.
Uall have pulled my legs.Iam hurt and henceforth i won't demand anything from uall,specially from ICC....hey not again.
Let me tell u,i was on verge of never demanding anything,trust me for what happened some days back.But then ICC made me feel"Wanted" and hence decided to come back.
I sincerely respect u all and if i can offer a couple of laughs to anybody(even if its pulling my legs)---nothing like it.
Great effort,ICC,keep pulling my legs....i mean keep posting.Don't worry,Iam not going to end my sentence with a demand this time.

chandan sa badan, where are u? i have missing daddy, gang of imposters, child lifters and river of fire for u...
what do u want? ok i will post a flash strip ;)
chandan sa badan : tumne to is blog mein jaan hi dal di ;-
really, its not a joke... we want u all.. with or without ur "missing daddy", with or without ur "this is my last post" comment..
please come back...
cw, tcp please say something ;-)))))
ooops, i meant, tph not tcp
what do u want? ok i will post a flash strip ;)
hahahahahahah...ohh...todaywe've lottsa fun!! ;-))
Yeah,Ghandu,U shud post those IJCs ONLY when Chandan 'demand' them!...so Chandan sa Badan:continue ur 'demand' if wanna see those gems-n-popins!!;-)
Seriously,being ol' guy....he still like gems!!!!!!!! ;-))
A perfect Lolla Kutty he's!
what do u want? ok i will post a flash strip ;)

oops NOT Ghandu ...BUT Chandu! ;-)
ooops, i meant, tph not tcp
No harm....actually I wish ONE DAY TCP will surface in our blogs....may b just 2 say a "hi"! :-)
Still I really can't digest the way he suddenly left ...:-/
Hope his come-back like you....sincerly!
I have already commented,ICC.
I could make out the love and fondness in yours and Sagnik's leg-pulling.
Specially to put forward my comments on display....thanks,buddy.Actually i was a very reserve person.If u see i have not commented a single time on TCP.After all those comics that i downloaded....its a shame.TCP,IF URE READING THIS,iam mighty sorry,please come back wherever ure.Its due to the stupidity of selfish people like us that things happen....Again i had not commented on ICC,realised my mistake ,prayed for his return and he did.
My first comments came on CW.I tried.The amount of respect and welcome i got there....tremendous.well,the silsila of comments began from there.My hunger for comics was proportional to my attachment to the blog.
One day,when all comics have been posted,this relationship is what is going to keep our friendship alive.Viewers who comment only for comics will be hard to trace.I promise,as u will see,I'll be either mailing u or keeping in touch with all of u for years and years.
Leave aside comics,this is pure vintage stuff that u all are offering us,day in and day out.
Comments come in from only few,some are only repeated by regulars.Where are the rest?
Its such a shame.If i wud have been the blogger,believe me,looking at the response,i wud have quit,never to come back.
ICC AND OTHERS,GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
dear dear: i respect ur emotions,feelings,
i dont care if nobody ( apart from some regulars) comments on this blog, but i want ur comments, demands anything...
wildmagic: i forgot to answer ur comment... see my next issue
Been a busy day. Just read all this.
Chandan must be feeling like a roman legionary against asterix and obelix together having a good time at the cost of him.
against sagnix and iccx to be precise ;-
Now this is something really 'Kiddish' which it should be on a 'comics' blog...i really enjoyed it specially the package comprising of 'Best of Chandan comments'..haaa,haahaa.....
Dear Chandan,Dhartinandan keep the tempo alive...
It removed all the toxicity in atmosphere of 'Purani Daru and Purani.....' discussion by comicsexologist Dr.Sagnik and builder ICC:o)
ICC
I love flash gordon but somehow I miss the fun if its not in color, however if the story is very strong, i guess I may not miss color! Anyway great work again
