Mandrake Spécial was the title of two French comic series dedicated to "Mandrake".
First series
The first series was based on the Italian series Mandrake Super Albo and was published in France by Les Editions des Remparts, a French comics editor based in Lyon, but it was in fact translated and printed in Italy by Fratelli Spada. It was also occasionally distributed in Quebec, Canada by Presses Selection Limitée in Montreal.
99 issues were published from 1963 to 1972, in a larger format than the regular Mandrake series, and was monthly for most of its run. Unsold copies were later glued together with a new outer cover and sold as "albums". There was two different series of the "albums". First, there were 16 albums, containing issues # 5 to 46. Next, a total of 21 albums, containing issues # 47 to 97 was published.
The issues featured dailies and Sundays, from Phil Davis to Fred Fredericks, and occasionally other back-up comics.
