Retrograde. Bamboozlement! More Bamboozlement!

The Junk Fairies Comic

 
Quite educating! Something with a sour taste.

Chandamama, January 1982 [Check out the archives of Chandamama]

 
What's that buzzing noise? Just blood sucking pink fairies.
This one comes from 'Doga Hindu hai' ( Raj Comics). This particular issue is quite a riot. Sample this - Doga bashes up bad guys, someone badder, working a scheme, later kills few of those injured guys. It turns out the ones who died were Muslims and the ones who lived were Hindu. People conclude Doga must be a Hindu. Riot. This isn't the end, in the next issue Hindus scream ' Apna Bhai Doga'. Mind bending. A junky friend of mine would agree with a lot of it, he used to say, 'If you want the stuff, head to a Muslim ghetto, basti.'
Doga was pretty much the last comic series that I really followed. And I still think it has the best title names. However the art has become too dependent on computer generated images - basically the colors have become too shiny.
