POSTING ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF HINDI GARTH COMIC STRIP PUBLISHED IN INDIAN NEWSPAPER "HINDUSTAN" IN 1965-AS-"हमलावर "






THE INVADERS
PAGE-01
A prospector’s camp  deep into the blue mountain ranges of Virginia-
Jo,  sam  wake up  wake up!
Uhh!Is  something wrong?
Sam ! look down there in the valley!
Zeek smith his daughter joe and their companion sam stare at  a strange flying soccer like thing floatin g at the bottom of the bowel shaped valley floor---
This thing was not there in till last evening!
It must be about 400 yards wide , if it is something ,it seems to be floating above the ground level!
It must have somehow descended from the skies last night!
Pa! this is a space ship! A space ship!- cries zeek’s daughter joe
Joe- pa! believe me this is a space  craft from some alien world in space ,I have seen such picture in the comic books!
Zeek- shut up jo sam and me don’t believe these modern things!
“I think we should get closer to it and see-suggests sam.
Right o, you stay here-says zeek
Two men descend  halfway down the long slope…
Sam- I will move forwards you stay back and be on the lookout if this thing makes a movement!
Zeek- ok sam but be very careful moving ahead!
Sam descends down the slope holding a rifle in his hands…
Joe watching from above[thinking]—I can bet it is a spaceship from someother planet , probably youg men from  Venus  or some other planet ….
Suddenly sam is enveloped in  flames  and is instantly incinerated….
PAGE-02
SAM! Zeek shouts watching his friend burnt alive and turned to ashes..
At the edge of the valley  a horrified joe watches the gruesome sight-no! these space men are not good men!
Zeek- sam is dead ,they have killed him!
Th ewall of flames suddenly disappears leaving behind  blackened  charred remains of sam’s body
Zeek warns joe who is coming running down the slope-“jo stay back….back!
They have incinerated sam….i tell you they have come from outer space…
Zeek- “I don’t care who they are, but they have killed my friend  and I cannot stay silent!’
A strange being comes out of the space craft and begins to float in the air
Oe warns her father “pa! don’t shoot!”
Zeek- “jo this is not human it looks like an insect!”
Zeek raises hi rifle and is beginning to take aim when joe warns him-“ it is no use shooting at him bullent won’t affect him , I told you he is an alien as I told you these aliens have powers!
A disembodied voice seems to emanate from the strange insect like “thing”—don’t come any nearer, using force will be counterproductive! Otherwise you will be killed!
This inhuman voice clearly reaches zeek and his daughter joe!
 Akind of ray protects our space ship and it can be fatal !
Zeek- what is “fatal” joe! There is something  does not seem right here
Joe- it means some protective force field which can kill you the way it has killed sam.
  Hissing noice from the rock as if there is some gas leak and joe and zeek start choking—“ugh… can’t breathe!”
PAGE-03
ZEEK Smith has regained consciousness and finds himself and joe tied and bound by ropes –
joe “papa you were right!”
zeek- I guess was I intoxicated some how?
 No papa this was the doing of those insects!they killed sam and used some gas to overcome us iguess we are inside their space craft…
 A screen suddenly glws on the wall-
“listen earthlings”
Ooh !you cruel insect! Shouts zeek
You cruel insect you killed my companion sam!- shouts zeek
“ shut up”
We have orders if you don’t obey our orders and talk to anybody other than the one chosen your death is certain! Because there is a tiny bomb inside your body which will go off if you start thinking of betrayal
Uh huh!
Joe- they must have done something while we were unconscious.
Zeek- what did he mean by that? Small bombs inside our body and how can they blow up if we have any wrong thoughts in our minds? I don’t understand joe!
Oe- papa they can surely do this… if we don’t obey their orders these bombs will explode
This earth woman is right!- says the alien.
Harsh disemboweled voice of the ‘insect’ drones on….
--“you will be given a small but powerful communicator!”
“and here it is!” a triangular black box with screen appears on a raised platform in front of bound and tied father  daughter duo.
Zeek- joe how do these dumb ‘isects’ speak?
Joe-I tild you pa they are not dumb , they have a very developed superior mind and intellect!
You take this communicator to a man called lumiere who is in your capital city Washington at the moment-instructs the worm like alien.
PAGE-04
Now you will see a photograph of professor lumiere  to whom you have to go….
The” worm “disappears from the screen and another picture takes it’s place-“professor lumiere”
You will hand over this communicator to him and tell him  about our powers and what you have seen of us , tell him that further instructions will be given on the communicator.
 Enough! Cries out zeek as once again a cloud of gas envelops  joe and zeek
Zeek comes to his senses being shaken up to wakefulness by his daughter –“ I was having a nightmare about  and those giant “insects” who killed sam.
Joe it was not a dream ,it really happened,look at that communicator which they gave us.
 Zeek- Really? where did that big ship go ?
 Asmall screen is flickering on the communicator--- “ you will not be able to see our ship now, obey the orders!- instructs the  “insect”
Joe- you carry it very carefully pa and don’t say anything to anyone apart from professor lumiere otherwise we have had it.
Zeek- these ordinary insects that have sewn tiny bombs…so that we can’t tell anyone this is unfair …
Joe – neither was killing poor sam…..but they killed him!
We will have to go to Washington pa.. even if we have to pay every last penny of our meager saving.
Zeek- but how would we find them?
Zeek and joe are in Washington joe [following  and calling out a tall well built man in a hotel lobby- hey mister ! who turns and greets oe-hello[it is garth!]joe asks him- how can we find professor lumiere we saw his photograph in the newspapers and learnt that he was in Washington..
You are probably his companion will you please help us?
Garth- your work seems urgent and important!
PAGE-
PROFESSOR LUMIERE is in his hotel room when garth enters-
Lumiere—lecture , television interviews,dialogues with American scientiss are all so exciting and interesting but I am so exhausted!
Garth- I understand professor
But probably you would be glad to meet my new friends they have something important they want to give !
Garth- professor meet zeek and his daughter joe!
Joe-[holding the communicator in her hands]—professor we are glad to see you.
Garth- joe ,zeek meet professor lumiere!
Zeek speaks out while joe is putting the communicator  down gingerly on a side table as professor lumiere is starting to stand up]-yes he exactly looks like his picture which the “insects” showed us!
Garth-“insects”?
Joe-pa! shut up!
Zeek- but I did not say anything!
Insects told us to tell professor lumiere about them after we hand over the communicator !
Joe—looking sideways at garth--- yes but no one else should overhear us!
Joe [addressing garth]- -look sir I have to speak with professor alone!
Zeek-she is telling the truth,these insects  who have come from outer space  have put small bombs inside my and Joe’s body, and if we talk to anybody other than professor lumiere ,they will explode!
Zee- holding his mouth- oh! I have spilled the beans!
Joe[shocked at stupidity of her father]- oh pa!
Garth[mystified at the turn of events]- what is all this?
Joe- papa just told to you everything about those “insects” he should have been blown up!
Zeek- but I am all right joe probably these small bombs have long fuse..
Joe probably they think that you are an imbecile so they decided to forgive you!
Zeek[offended]- ok friends! Listen to me  I did not do anything, I am only  an imbecile..
PAGE-06
GARTH AND PROFESSOR LUMIERE ARE busy examining the communicator—
Garth- I am sorry professor I dis not realize that they were dimwits!
Lumiere- I am surprised where did they find this? There is no switch or button on the outside but it has got excellent design.
Joe- tis gets started on its own now and then ,so  that those “insect aliens” come to know about us.
Garth is holding the communicator in his hands when it’d screen suddenly glows and comes to life—“professor look!”
Joe—this is one of them “insects”
“alien on the communicator screen”- o! lumiere?
Professor-yes!
‘Insect’---“now we can see you and hear you! Who is this other man with you?”
My friend garth, but who are you? Asks lumiere
The alien “insect” drone on The persons who have come to you got lucky, their bombs did not explode, listen to their story , I will contact you again in 10 minutes. Screen is dead.
Zeek –see?  Didn’t I tell you? “Insects from outer space have tricked and fooled us!”
They have the powers, miraculous powers, strange gadgets like the one you read about in comic strips!
Joe- pa! He know everything he is a professor !
Professor addressing garth who is putting down the communicator –ok now leave that thing alone and listen to the story our friends have to tell us.
joe and zeek have told their yarn-…so we st off for Washington and found you here exactly like those insects had told us!
Joe- in comic book stories sometimes good aliens also come from space but these were evil who killed sam mercilessly .
Garth – but probably they do not want the world to know that they are here, what is their objective?
Communicator screen starts to glow again-
Lumiere- maybe we shall know now?

Now we have to search for those areas whele they can pick us back to our time…give me the book

Guy-I know , I may be a mere man  but I am not afraid!
Eid- then pick up the satchel  and prepare to move!
Guy- “no!’
Eid-“ come!  I have taken out the details of this map”
Guy- ok.. member of superior women’s organization now have a look at the map closely!
The region where they can pick us up is half the distance of the world, thousands of mile from here.. How will we reach there? On foot? Oh! –exclaims eid when realization dawns on her!
Page-05
Guy -if we have to go halfway round the world we will have to enlist the help of some local person!
Eid-you are right!
Eid- there is a house over there! Let us wake them up!
Guy- intelligent woman! I recommend that you read this booklet first!
Because they may be in habit of  eating up strange women , take some precautions first!
Eid[reding from the booklet]- what is marriage ? I have never heard about this before!
Guy-probably it is an ancient custom where a woman selects a single man… dos not change him every year!
Eid- this is a very strange, I will have to go through this booklet!
Eid [reding from the booklet][amazed]- guy infact it was the man who used to select a woman!
Guy[smugly]- so we are in a time when man was more important!
Eid-[outside garth’s residence]-we have landed up in a very strange time zone!
This  is a romantic nuclear age. Man is superior than and controls the woman , there is ancient custom of marriage!
Guy- we will have to rsort to some romantic method to enlist the help of a local[[this conversation is going on while Garth sleeps blissfully unaware of the drama being played out outside his residence!]
Guy- the window is open!
Eid- right!
Remember this is a romantic time if there is aman inside this house I will easily take him under my control…and if there is a woman you try and win her affections to  best of your capacity!
Guy- men find it a little tough , but I will give it a try!
Page-06
Guy-eid !it is a man!
Eid—I will role play romance like in olden times! You stay downstairs while I make him agree to help us!
Garth wakes up in very strange circumstances….[with eid leaning on top of him holding his neck in her arms]
Eid tries to play a make believe romantic role  from 10thousand years past as she visualizes in her imagination.[holding garth in close embrace---“you are so attractive,I want to marry you!
Garth[amazed]- what did you say?
 Eid-You are so strong and handsome, but I don’t even know your name
Garth- but that hardly seems to bother you! Would you please leave?
Guy watching from outside garth’s open bedroom door [thinking]-he does not seem to desire her, but I do!
Eid[offended]-what did you say?
Garth-get lost!....not very good!...but you are not my type!
Eid- stop! You thankless man! How dare you say this to me?
Guy- this  does not seems to be the way of making friends here…
Page-07
Eid- you rude man! How dare you treat me like this? No man can survive  after insulting me like this, who are you?
“I am garth!”
Garth- it seems you had a lot to drink in some dance party late in the night
Eid who is being lifted up and carried out of the room   -- release me! Let me go!
Garth-let me first drench you in  cold water first!... garth [spotting guy by side of bedroom door]- o.k. so another reveller !
Guy- how are you doing?
Eid-  I am fine , do I take it that you are a neutral bystander  in this whole drama!
Guy- it was eid’s idea , why should  I interfere?
Garth goes to the bathroom, with guy following him!
Eid- stop him! Otherwise you will be punished!
Guy[thinking to himself]-  he seems to be doing to do the right thing!
Guy [to garth]- are you really going to soak her?
Gath- yes she deserves this!
These sour  women take advantage of their being women!
Garth has thrown eid in to the shower!
Eid shouts-“I hate you!”
Garth- “ look already there is some improvement!—I will throw you some clothes now!
Eid coming out of shower drenched to skin and furious-why did you not stop him?
Guy-because if we want to return to out time zone we will have to make friends with him.
Eid – you must have enjoyed yourself hugely!
Guy- I could not have stopped him , so I thought why not enjoy myself!
Page-08
Garth –eid strip off your wet clothes and wear these payjamas, they belong to my friend professor lumiere who has gone out for some weeks
eid[surprised] men are professors here?
Gath- what is so surprising about this?
 Guy- men use to run the world in these ancient times.
Eid- I forgot!
Garth- by the time your friend is ready you can have a drink with me
Guy- she is my boss not my friend!
Garth- now a days  many women are holding  top jobs efficiently
Guy- garth really we are not from the present time
Garth- so what is the difference between past and present?[thinking to himself]—“this couple seems to be old fashioned.
Eid has stripped off her wet clothes in the bathroom toweling herself[thinking]- guy will surely make some foolish mistake like all men… I will have to make haste..
Meanwhile guy is enjoying a drink—“ it is a delicious drink”
Garth- yes ! it is called scotch whiskey!
Garth- guy what secret things are hidden in your satchel?
Guy- not secret but personal postage letters for the year 2985!
 Eid is changing clothes in the bathroom[thinking to herself] I will have to keep in mind the fact that I have reached a time zone in the past  where animals like garth used to rule the earth! We will have to hide the truth from garth and cook up a story  and take his help in reaching  the designated area for pick up back to our time.
Meanwhile guy is under the influence of liquor…garth the truth is eid and I are from the future!
Garth is that so? Eid is furious with guy on learning that he has already revealed the truth to garth-“ you have told him against the rules that we are time couriers!”
Guy- that is the only way to enlist his help, we cannot fool him!
Garth-  look  I have had enough of this joke , I am going to turn in now..
Guy – [holding the satchel to garth – you will not believe me without a proof, this satchel can not be opened without the help of a time key
Garth- let me open it to have a look inside!
Garth tries to open the satchel with the help of a knife , acid and blow torch but that cloth is indestructible!
Eid- “you are mad to have given proof to that primitive man, he will never help us unless we threaten him!
He is a man from the dawn of civilization , it will not be difficult!
Guy – if you want to threaten him consider me out !

TIME COURIERS-
PAGE-01
AT the central sorting office of postage dispatch service to various time-zones----
“Strange address!”
What is the problem?
“This letter has been written by somebody in the year 12763 to somebody in the year 2985, what should I do?
We cannot deliver postage to any year beyond 3000, return it back to foolish sender!
Men should stay at home! But they want equal status![two women talking at time courier service’s central sorting office]
Man listening in on their conversation-“we should at least have right to vote!”
At the rest and recreation centre of central sorting office of time couriers---
Who carries you postage  in this shift?
Guy! Who is a pain in the neck!
I have to pick a companion for home for next year,maybe I will choose him?
Guy? He is strong but is not very bright!
“it is only a matter of one year only and who wants  an intelligent man for house work?
Yes! You certainly don’t!
You have to deliver the post to the year
Ok!
It seems your helper is again late!
“ what can you expect from men?”
“hello eid, I  got delayed at the gym!
Don’t give me excuses lift the satchel of post to lift  no. 3 quickly!
Page-02
 Eid can we go out on a date tonight? I mean I will pay for contribution….
You think I am old fashioned , that I will make you pay for your own bill?
Why are you acting high and mighty, now  a days many men are earning at par with women!
Post for the year 3090
“Ok get aboard”- announces the controller
“ what is the need of keep standing with that load of satchel on your back?” Asks eid derisively…
Time travelling post vehicle is traveling swiftly eid  is taunting guy-“if you only want to show off how strong you are then it is another matter, but otherwise you are a dim wit!
Time travel vehicle is swiftly moving through the past and control panel is recording changing year s at a brisk pace…
Eid is busy applying makeup to her face and fighting with guy—
Guy- if women use cosmetics to look beautiful why can’t men go to gyms for body building?
Eid- don’t talk rubbish! Men’s place is at home and they should stay there!
Guy- “that is not the point of debate!
You are talking about the time when men used to do house work and women were going out to work in offices and factories!”
In the time courier vehicle
Eid- it is useless to reason with men, they always use logic instead of inspiration!
Guy- men’s logic is sometimes proved  better than women’s inspiration!
Eid- whatever! It is better that the men don’t run this world!
Guy- I won’t accept that!
We should  theat least have right to vote . The world council has only 3 men is that justice?
Page 0busy arguing their point of view eid and guy fail to notice the warning red light flashing on the contol panel
Guy- a few thousand years back there were many more men than women on the council…
Eid- and how scandalous they turned out to be, anyway nobody can even think of they  having equal  social status as women!
Guy- suddenly noticing the red light on control panel-“eid!, the warning bell must have malfunctioned , we have gone back in the past.
The time courier vehicle is rapidly moving back in to time---
Eid- let me see. We have crossed 3000 ad limit, emergency brakes must have failed! You fool had you not distracted me in that useless debate we would not be in this mess!
Guy-“I argued? But you are supposed to be the driver of this vehicle… in any case only men are are supposed to be committing all the mistakes!
Eid – if we did not bail out on parachutes quickly we will soon reach Stone Age, hold the satchel while I press the ejection button!
Explosion without a sound and the time courier vehicle disintegrates….
Guy- addressing eid spread-eagle d on her face---anyway we are still on earth only whatever may be the time period!
Eid- oh !where are we and n which time segment?
Guy- don’t know but when we jumped control panel was showing the year 1960!.. capsule must have recorded exact year , but it must have automatically separated from the vehicle!
Eid-[holding her head]- don’t teach me I have more knowledge than you!

CONTINUATION OF GARTH STOTY[ HINDI TO ENGLISH]GELENIG MIRACLE

POSTING NEXT 3 PAGES [PAGE NO 10, 11, 12] FROM HINDI GARTH STORY   ग्लेनोइग  का आश्चर्य  TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH



Page 10
As garth comes up to Lake Surface the two bandits also reach the boat house-
“looks like a daredevil scuba diver probably a copper , shoot him Nicky” – says duchy
Garth [thinking]- damn! Bullets above the water and a monstrous brute on my heels from under water!
 I have to get out now!
Garth suddenly lunges up from water surface and catches hold of duchy’s ankle, caught off guard duchy stumbles and falls-“aaeee….nicky he has grabbed me!”
The monster surfaces and glares at a drowning shouting duchy--“nick! Nick! Save me”
Meanwhile after few minutes Garth has swum away to safety and reaches Jane who is waiting for him on the other side of the lake  
Jane- “what has happened? I heard somebody shouting sound of gunfire!”
Garth-there is a monster there!, I have seen a man being torn to pieces by this monster jane! A monster whose very existence is unbelievable!
Garth and jane return to the hotel-
“Jane- an iron box in the lake water? What could be inside this box?
Garth – I do not know jane but I firmly believe that it is connected with that submerged motor van!
Jane- only a thief will sink a car in good condition!
Garth- you are right jane , tehr was a robbery at prestwik  airport ! it is that gold which lies hidden so deep in  the lake!
Jane – are you going to tell the police?
Garth- there is no hurry , the box is safe there, our worry is about the monster!
Garth-are you coming with us to the lake professor?
Lumiere is woken up by Garth and Jane bursting in to his room in early hours of the morning!
Lumiere- it is 4 o’ clock in the morning Garth! And I have to be busy at excavation site the whole day!
Garth – child’s pay! We have seen a living gigantic beast from prehistoric Jurassic era!
Page -11
Mac manus gang reaches the hunting lodge at Lake Glenoig-
What happened nick?-asks eddy
 Horrible! Duchy was following this man in the lake waters when he was grabbed by a gigantic beast in the water-says nick
Eddy [grabbing Nicky by the collar choking him]- come to your senses you fool what are you talking about? Who was that man?
  A well built white man and a “bird” were snooping around- says a frightened Nicky
 Is that so? We shall go and have a look at the boat house!
Goons inspect the steel cable –“ it has been cleanly severed in two pieces  eddy”
That means that the box is at the bottom of the lake bring a rope we will measure the depth of lake water –instructs eddy.
Oh! Eddy it is 300 feet deep , we would need a skilled scuba diver to get to that box!
Ok! So hire somebody quickly!-says eddy- but first we will have to find out who this tall well built muscular stranger was who did all this, we will finish him!
 It is strange the way that rope was snapped!
Shut up and find those two snooping around- snaps an angry mob boss eddy macnmas!
Later on in the village the gang is cruising in their car ii village streets when they spot Garth and Jane and nick points towards Garth-“ there! That is the man, he was in a scuba diver suit that night”
He is powerful!
We will fix him! Find out who is he?
In the meantime professor lumiere is ready- “ before we leave for the lake tell me hw does this monster look?
Garth- professor he looked like cruel tyrannosauas  rex  dinosaur which disappeared million years ago
Hmm! The largest and fiercest of all the prehistoric animals born on the earth which could not survive due to adverse conditions!- says professor lumiere puffing at his pipe.
 But this one is alive1 – says garth.
Then it seems that some strange and terrible thing happened in the depths of that lake-!-says professor lumiere
Jane- professor  garth says that the  animal tore the steel cable with his hands , but didn’t the tyrannosaurs have very small forelimbs?
Jane that is the thing that worries me , may be what garth saw was a evolved species!
You mean a mutation? Asks garth.
If it is true what is the reason for it ? that is what we have to find out says professor who is distracted by a group of noisy press reports outside their hotel room!
PAGE-12
LUMIERE-[coming out of hotel room accompanied by jane and garth]-“ press reporters are gathering , let us slip to lake shore quickly”
/press reporters are interviewing a drunken local who  is holding  forth on the subject of monster in the lake….
Jane – who is that person talking ?
Garth--some local who  saw the lake monster first now he is making money [selling his story to press]
Professor- a miracle  has happened and he is  taking undue advantage!
Macnmas gang—
Eddy so, who is this red haired fellow
“his name is garth”
He is staying in the village , he and the ‘bird ‘ are accompanying  a professor lumiere whi is on an archaeological dig looking for roman era pottery..
Eddy- lew you go and stay in the village hotel posing as  a press photographer and eliminate garth when ever you have the chance.
Lew- “with pleasure eddy”
Garth and jane are accompanying professor lumiere examining the monster’s footmarks at the water’s edge on lake glenoig
Professor- “only an animal of the size of tyrannosaurus could have left foot mark of that  size!
Garth- he must have been living in the lake for quite sometime how did he make a sudden appearance now?
 It is  a puzzle garth , things don’t  happen in a hurry with mother nature, it took millions of years for tyranosaursrax to come out of the water and acclimatized itself to live on dry land—but here it has taken only a few weeks, why? Answers professor lumiere.
 A  bus loaded with workers is going towards hydroelectric project on the lake glenoig---
Driver wooly is urged to drive fast by passengers who are late for the work
While on the road ahead of the bus a terrible danger lurks as 3 huge gigantic beasts are running amuck uprooting electric poles and tearing the wires.
Oh hell look 3 tyrannosauruses  on the lake exclaims jane—look at at that bus  it is running straight towards those monsters— garth can’t we do anything?[garth and friends in the car climbing up the hill returning from the lake.. watch  with horror seeing the monsters ahead of the bus on the road]
It is too late jane we can’t do anything now says garth with dismay…
