மரண தூதர்கள் : Lion Comics Review

Title Name :  மரண தூதர்கள்

Title No :164

Release Year : 2000

Price :Rs 15

No of Pages : 322

This is one of my favorite Text viller story full of action,thrill and twist .

Sorry for the poor quality of pictures .With digi cam I took it without using any flash .

The highlight of this issue :

* Diwali Special

* A special issue featuring Tex Viller is Published in Pocket size after a long time .Before this I think it is "Viking theevu marmam" .Not sure

* It is one of those issue which was in advertisement for a long time

Hot line :

                               The Story begins with a leader of Phoenix Ranger Group meets Tex and Carson and asking them to nail some thugs who were using army machine gun to rob banks ,killing people etc . A Mexican land lord named Don Collermeyo aided by gang leader Paplo is the man behind these activities . He wanted to use that money to build up his own army to drive away Americans who have taken his ancestors land .Tex came to know this through his ex army friend Captain Labertiyai who also happens to be future son -in law of the Mexican landlord .So how tex and Carson defeat them is the rest of the story which is full of action packed .There is twist at the end of the story which makes this story a spectacular one .

Back Page of the issue

Some of my favourite moments in this story are

@ when Tex finds out Sargent Hall brook helped to steal the machine gun from the army , at that time eprsssion shown by Hall Brook and the beating he got after that

The opening conversation between Tex and Co when they meet Phoenix ranger leader .

Ad for coming release in that book

Your valuable feedback are welcomed .See you soon with another post .

My Comics Experience

                                       Kovilapatti : It all started with our news paper man who is also agent for Rani comics . My dad fell a victim to his marketing tricks and hence Rani comics started to come to our house every month . This is how my comic reading [rather seeing] started . At that age , 5 + I couldn't read any story ,but somehow I was attracted to see the images in  the book . Years passed on , my dad got moved to Madurai because of his promotion This brought a halt to our regular purchase of Rani comics .My Brother will get a copy of Rani comics whenever he get a chance . It went on like this for some months .One day me ,my brother and my mom went to our relative function near Town Hall Road ,Madurai. While returning we went to to Periyar Bus stand to catch our 42 series bus . As we were waiting for our bus , my brother got some money from my mom , to buy comics . He returned with a book , which is not in normal size as of Rani Comics.It was the first lion comics that I saw in my life . In pocket size , it was just gorgeous . It was Tex Viller adventure பழி வாங்கும் பாவை

By this time my reading habit was much improved and I started to like it very much . My brother also started to like more than me and we started to buy lion comics from this incident regularly .

Introduction to Lion comics means automatic introduction to Muthu , Thigil ,Mini Lion ,Junior Lion etc and our comics collection started to grew .

1991, My father got transferred to Tirunelveli this time . Getting a new lion comics was very difficult in Tirunelveli at that time .With great difficult we found a shop which turned out to be our treasure .It is in south Bazaar .that shop not only sold new lion comics but also some of the old lion comics that haven't sold . There is one problem more comics means we need more money .with limited pocket money , it forced me to steal money from my mom purse.One fine day I was caught and got a good beat from my mom . It was really a golden days , searching for old comics by sitting on the back side of my brother bicycle and going to second hand book shop.In summer vacation we used to go almost daily which really made the shop keepers to yell at us . Also we used to hide comics in some other book shelves , if we don't have money to buy at that time .We will rush to our house, get some money some how, come back and buy it

                                                Archie was my favourite hero while for my brother it was spider .I used to argue with my brother saying Archie is the best ,while my brother counts for Spider .We used to write down comics name in a note book to track how many books we had . Most of times if you buy comics from second hand shop , either 2 or 3 front pages or back pages will be missing.

In that case , we couldn't find the name of book . We will be doing all kind of analysis to give a name to that book and also we check with the ad's published in old comics book to guess the name .Unforgivable days are those .

The joy of getting a comic book that you been searching for a long time is incomparable . When ever my brother buys a new comics book , i will sit by him patiently till he finishes up ..The pleasure of opening pinned book using a coin and going through "Hot line and coming up issue will always gives joy.

There is one particular shop in our area which looks like small Petty shop . But they used to have lot of old comics which they rented out for daily basics .

We have to deposit a amount of Rs 10 as a deposit amount . there I came across "யார் அந்த ஜூனியர் அர்ச்சி " which I was searching for long time .Desperate to had it , I gave Rs 10[huge amount at that time ] as deposit and gave a false address. and never returned that book . After this incident , I never used that way to go school .Really golden days are those .

1998 - All good things will come to end . Yes I lost all these[excluding some as they were kept in some other box] golden and rare collection while our family was shifting back to Madurai to pursue my Under Graduation in American College  . I kept all the comics in a box . It lost some how while coming to Madurai. Even though I am going to regret this incident for the rest of my life , the comics experience will always immense pleasure in my life .

Thanks folks for patiently going through this

I am planning to do posts on the comics that I liked most .

First one will be Tex Adventure .Will post that tomorrow -Aug 4

My Comics Collection

My comics collection so far [In Chennai alone]

Will post my Madurai  collection after some time

What's Your Hobby

 

                Many of us will definitely will have at least one hobby which was started way back in their childhood days . As they grew up , these hobbies are either stopped and some new hobbies have started

While Some of them will follow their hobbies till to date .I am one of the those in the list an these are my hobbies

Stamp and Coin collecting : Definitely it is one of the favourite for everyone . Even though it involves lot of money , the amount of knowledge that one gains is incomparable .

Comics - I love comics . Introduced by brother , it is one of my favourite hobby following to till date with lot of passion. Ironically at my young age , lot of comics was there ,but money was less .But now i have more money ,but comics[Tamil] is very rare now days.

Key chain : the crazy for Key chain hasn't been stopped and naturally my key chain collection is growing fastly

Bookmark Index : Thanks to Flip kart who sends a different book mark everytime you purchase books online

Company's tag line : Don;t know how i started ,but now i have a note with full of company's tag line

 

Egg Art : Removing the content of egg by piercing a hole on top and bottom and blowing air to remove the content may be not a good .But after cleaning and drawing pictures on it with beautiful color is indeed a sight to see .

Saving Tips - 2

                                            Credit Card - Yes I am going to share how we can save money by using Credit Card . I do hope everyone knows that interest in our saving bank is calculated on daily basis now rather than the old way where the last days 20 days of month is used for calculating interest . Ever since this rule came , I am started using my credit card for almost all the places where it can be used. So once when credit card bill comes out , I usually pay the amount for the bill one or two days before the last date mentioned in the bill . By this way the amount in my savings bank is kept intact and hence naturally  I will be getting more interest . Even though we are not saving huge amount of money , a paisa saved in paisa gained .

Also one more advantage of using Credit card is , we will get reward point every time we swipe our card . The accumulated points can be used by items according to the need of the person . 

Caution : This method is suitable for only those people who have an absolute control of how to use the credit card .

Mount Road Bhurai Hotel

Undoubtedly one of the best Hotels in Chennai .My favourite one and also it is affordable for everyone .

Situated in the heart of the city , Buhari hotel is in service from 1954 onwards .

Tea and special Samosa [Stuffed with finely chopped Mutton keema] is the hot item . Tea is priced at Rs 10 and Samosa Rs 25 . A good combination indeed .

Some of the other must have items are

1) Wheat Parotta

2) Chicken 90

3) Falooda

4) Chicken Pepper Gravy

5) Almond Chicken gravy

6)Appam with Paya [Only on Evening]

7) Chicken 65

8) Roasted Lamb leg

9) Lamb Steaks
10) Ceylon Parotta 

Though you can find lot hotels in this name , Anna nagar and Ashok Nagar branches are also run by them .But personally I feel ,only at this branch the food is so Yummy .

updated Last on Aug 16 : Now you can see a  new Look Bhurai Hotel at Mount Road . They have moved to next building and infrastructure looks quite grand . Hope they will provide the same quality with affordable price
