What is the comic project?

Thursday, June 23, 2005 Share: Digg Technorati Delicious StumbleUpon Facebook
First of all, the blog is slowly starting to make a little bit of noise, well..more noise than I expected it to make.

So what is the comic project??? Nostalgia. Fun. But the biggest reason is to simply bring a smile to the reader's face. But, only, and I repeat, only with Original Content.
This blog aims to bring you original content that takes us back to the times we never thought we would see again, those wonderful years between 8 and 14, and to bring a smile on the face of anyone who reads this.

I am getting some amazing contributions and am happily posting it, but if the comics are being downloaded from another site, it kinda makes this: (1) A bit copycatty!! (2) Duplication of effort
So we need to give credit to the site/person where it was downloaded from, with a link to the site rather than posting/re-posting the comic on the blog. Don't want to offend anyone because even the download/upload cycle is quite an effort, but hope you understand my take on this. So in case of any comics that have already been posted on another site, I will be adding the line "Originally posted on: http://url" and linking to that site (provided that site is for GENERAL VIEWING - NOTHING ADULTSY). Apologies for so many stupid conditions, and if it affects the viewership of the blog, so be it.

Some suggestions I have got so far, and the comic project's response:
1. Post it on IRC: I dont have the bandwidth, so I am quite open to someone else doing it
2. Post all pages, including covers, ads - Wherever i have the cover/ads, I am scanning them :-)
3. Keep this very organized - I love .. and i mean LOVE .. chaos!!! It turns me on!! But will try my best.

Also my thanks to the guy who has downloaded all the comics here and uploaded them in 3 pieces so that others can download.

Thanks Nitin for uploading the comics.

Also, TCP, I 100% agree with u on the originality issue. we should not post any comics which is already available elsewhere.

This was one of the reason i insisted on Indrajal scans earlier. But still, I do have something to say on this... I tried searching on the Net for Phantom comics, and it took almost an year and lots of effort, searching on IRC, DC++, Forums, WebSite, Torrents and not known where I have been for these comics, to build up a good collection of almost 250+ Phantom comics. I know till recently there was a website which hosted all Dailies and Sundays since 2001, but its gone now. Thankfully, I downloaded all before it close down. The reason I am telling this, is there are a lot of people like me, still searching for Phantom Comcis on Google, and getting nothin... if u search for Superman / Batman, u will get many links, but not for Phantom. I think we can share something from our collection of downloaded stuff. But we shud stick to the original scans. couple of downloaded comics between original scan won't hurt. but if the comics is already available elsewhere, its better to provide link for others, instead of taking the pain of uploading the same again.

Hi!, Yes I think its a good thought. We should concentrate more on Indrajaal comics and hindi will be welcome! This will make this site unique. However, I am not sure if the giving link from other site is good idea. I think we should first ask permission from the owner site and decide on what to do. Second problem is most of the resources are not reliable as mentioned by desiguru and we may end into broken link. So lets concentrate on scanning the indrajal and original contnet.

Hope to see you there :)

That will be great. Uploading/downloading from magaupdate is pain and you cannot manage the files properly.

DesiGuru said...

hi anonymous_guy, get me the details, and i will route my mIRC to that direction....

If any of you guys are new to IRC, a decent tute can be found here.
