any fans of modesty blaise here? Telegraph used to publish it daily. most probably an uncensored version. however, the bad printing resulted in really thin strokes. which somehow i really liked: the contrast between huge solid masses of black and these almost vanishing thin black lines. almost like a precursor of Sin City :-)

Archie comics rated second grade on a level of three. On top of my list were comics that I would pick up by choice and these were usually Donald Duck/Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and later "Indrajal" comics with Phantom the "Ghost whose underwear is outside his pants", and Mandrake. (Also Nancy and Sluggo, Tubby and Lulu), and Superman. Also Panchatantra and the Flintstones. And Popeye. Second grade comics were Archie, Spooky and a few others. Batman fell in this group. Probably the Jetsons too Third grade comics that I would read only when I was desperate for reading material were Little Lotta, Little Dot wotzername from dotland, Richie Rich and Casper et Wendy. But I read them all. I still read Archie as part of the comic strip in Deccan Herald - but I struggle because the text happens to be the smallest in that strip - and even my glasses cannot cope in low light. shiv
