Supremo!!!

Friday, July 01, 2005

My facination with comics is a bit more than u could stand! And don't tell me I didn't warn u. Now I present a Comic Hero, which was another first of India. Yes, you guessed it right from the title of this post, SUPREMO! published by Star Comics, an unknown publishers now in India, but back than (in 80s), they were HOT! As Star Comics published India's first ever 3-D comics. The 3-D Comics crage died after a few issues, but that was real craze back then. I am still in possation of few issues of those 3-D comics with me. Some day, I will scan one of them, just to keep a piece of history.

Now, back to Supremo! Yes, it was a comics about a costumed hero, with a falcon who talks to him. And he is someone else when not in Supremo desguise. You can ask, whats new about it? This seems like any other costumed hero, but behold, the personality it is when not Supremo is the catch. It was a comics featuring our very own SuperStar, Amitabh Bachchan. Yes, Amitabh played himself in this comics, and while shotting for movies, he gets information about someone in danger by his falcon (I don't remember the name), and takes on desguige of Supremo to save the people. The story were written by our very own Gulzar.

Gulzar who once penned down the adventures of Supremo (an 80’s comic series inspired by Amitabh Bachchan’s action films) says, “I had a tough time putting together Supremo because I was to make him a combination of Phantom, Superman and Amitabh Bachchan. And with a market that was saturated with Phantom, Superman, Tarzan and Flash Gordon comics. A Supremo speaking Indian English didn’t stand much of a chance. But I am sure Cartoon Network characters will have a longer shelf-life.”

I am not sure how much issues were published, and sadly I don't have any issue with me. I love to buy any or all issues of Supremo. I am a die hard fan of Amitabh Bachchan. If anyone wants to sell it, or even rent it, I am ready. I can return the comics after scanning it. I would love to share the scans as well. Please, if anyone has any issue of Supremo, do let me know. Infact, I am so desperate, I can pay for the scans as well. You get the scans done by someone and I will pay for it. I am posting one of the ad for the comics here, as this is the only thing I have on this....

This is what I got on Net for Supremo!

Supremo

Real Name: Amitabh Bachchan

Identity/Class: Normal human

Occupation: Actor

Affiliations: Vijay, Anthony (sidekicks); unnamed falcon

Enemies: Unknown

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: India

First Appearance: Unknown

Powers/Abilities: Supremo has no super-powers. He has the combination of strength to defeat his human adversaries and intelligence to get out of traps laid for him.

History: Unknown

Comments: Apparently he looks very much like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan - one of the greatest actors in the history of Indian Cinema. Supremo was supposed to be the costumed alter ego of Indian film superstar Amitabh Bachchan. He has 2 boy sidekicks -Vijay and Anthony (they are again normal human beings and do not wear any special costume). Incidentally the names of the sidekicks are taken from famous screen roles of Mr. Bachchan. He has a falcon as a pet, who also acts as scout.

Is there any way we can trade? I will scan the comics and let it open for everyone here... Pls let me know... u can reach me by desiguru at gmail dot com.

I want the copies so that I can scan the same...

Also, I did not read any comics on Sunny... seems somehow I missed it. and I don't think inspector vijay is same as Supremo. Supremo is Amitabh Bachchan and not any character. he played himself in the comics.
