The publishers decided to cancel the series in their 27th year of production.

Artistic/Design Significance

Commencing from issue #789 on August 20, 1989 (Volume 26, Number 33), the series briefly returned to a fortnightly schedule, consisting of 36 pages per issue, before ultimately being discontinued by the publishers in its 27th year of production. The final installment, issue #805, was released on April 16, 1990 (Volume 27, Number 8, titled "Dara: The Jaws of Treachery"). It is worth noting that a total of 803 Indrajal Comics were published, excluding issues #123 and #124, which were not printed due to an industrial strike. It is also worth mentioning that over half of these issues featured Phantom stories.
