Aventures et Mystère(s)
Aventures et Mystère(s) is a French magazine by Editions S.A.G.E.
History
The series runs 150 issues from January 1947 to October 1952.
Until issue #119, the series was published in one 21 x 29 cm horizontal format - usually called “Italian format” – and was entitled “Aventures et mystère” (last noun in singular). Each issue of the first part had 8 pages.
From issue #120, the format became vertical (size 18 x 27 cm up to 132 and finally 15 x 20 cm to the end ) and the titled changed for “Aventures et mystères” (nouns both plural). Furthermore, one large generic name of the character, here “Mandrake roi de la magie” (Mandrake King of Magic), is featured on the covers. Each issue of this second part of the series has 12 pages until issue #131 and 20 pages from issue #132 till the end.
The series could be split into various figures ("Agent secret X-9", "Amok", "Bronc Peeler", "Le Fantôme du Bengale","Flèche Ecarlate","Jim la jungle", "Mandrake", "Raoul et Gaston", "Le roi de la prairie" and "Yorga"). Note: an issue #151 ("Mission Accomplished", A "King of the Mounted Police story") has been announced, but seems never to have been published.
