Dailies - Mandrake the Magician
Sundays - Mandrake the Magician
What is most striking about the Sunday stories is that the three stories "The Cloud", "The Bullies" and "The Invisible Person" are reuses of three daily stories from 1983-1984. Most of the art (and text) are actually identical. In 1972, Fred Fredericks said that he drew the Sunday strips ten weeks in advance. If it was still like that in 1998, he should have received a script from Lee Falk for the story after "Mandrake Marries Narda" sometime before the beginning of September 1998. But it seems he never got any more scripts from Lee Falk for the Sundays.
