Happy Birthday!!!! Karan :)

**Result - Best Online,Social Media(Fans) Responce by an Indian Comic Publication**

Prahalad DubeyIndian comics universe fan club

"Poll Conducted - Indian Comics Fan Junction & Indian Comics Universe Fan Club

Top 3 Publications: Fenil Comics, Raj Comics & HCE, getting about 5/6 (87 Votes) of total.

Total 15 Publications listed in the poll, out of which 5 got no votes & 3 publications (Diamond, ACK and Chariot) received 1 vote each.

Although RC is second, but the fact that when you have less series & updates to manage, it is easier to satisfy majority of your total fans. But when there are multiple characters 7 series alongwith huge fan-base, then it is difficult to make all fans happy....

Spare a thought for Fiction Comics getting noticed in both the polls(an online popularity poll conducted last year) even before its launch." ---- Mohit Sharma{Trendster}

Demand for the digest reprints of a few famous Thrill-Horror-suspense Series published by Raj comics

Prahalad DubeyIndian comics universe fan club

Poll conducted exclusively in Indian Comics Universe Fan Club(ICUFC) in mid-January....

Final Results of the poll related to demand for the digest reprints of a few famous Thrill-Horror-suspense Series published by Raj comics:
Pret Uncle - 18 votes
Hu Hu Hu - 12 votes

X - 9 votes
Frendy - 8 votes

PLD's thoughts:
Inn results me saaf dekha jaa sakta hai ki sabhi THS series ki demand me koi zyaada antar nahi hai. Top position par hai Pret Uncle series, followed by X series. But I m sure ki meri tarah kai doosre fans bhi inn sabhi series ke digests zaroor dekhna chaahenge. Magar mai yaha kewal ek hi baat se sehmat nahi hu. Pret Uncle series me 4 issues release hue the jo SUPER SPCLs ke taur par aaye the. Ab agar RC inke digests taiyaar karti bhi hai to ye jaani hui baat hai ki wo normal size ke ho jaayenge, jo mai kadaapi nahi chaahta. Kul milaakar sirf 10 hi SUPER SPCLs to aaye the RC me, agar inme se ye 4 issues normal size ke hi ho gaye to fir isse xactly koi faayda nahi hoga, kyuki SUPER SPCLs ki importance to sirf tabhi hai jab wo apne asli sizes me hi aayein. Itna to mai bet lagaake keh saktaa hu ki agar Pret Uncle ke issues apne asli size me bhi reprint hue to bhi fans ke beech inki demand me kisi kism ki giraawat nahi aayegi, aur RC ki ek rare peshkash ki garima bhi reh jaayegi. Mai SUPER SPCLs ke resize hone ke sakht khilaaf hu. Agar wo reprint ho to apne asli size me hi ho, varna nahi. Jab wo release hue the tab unki price 20 thi, ab agar wo 80 me bhi milti hai to bhi mai unko lene se nahi chookne waala. That's all!

विद्रोह के हवन मे अरमानो की आहूती बरसों दी जाती ...
कितनी बहनें सूखी राखी मनाती ....
दीवारों के सहारे टिकी माँ महिनो का हिसाब भूल जाती ..
यारों की गलियाँ अरसों दीवाली-ईद कहाँ मानती ...
कभी मेरी तस्वीर से नज़रे मिलाना शायद जान जाओ ....आज़ादी कितनी महंगी है आती ...
