Issue overview
Mandrake Selezione was an Italian comic book dedicated to Mandrake and published from November 1976 to December 1979. On the cover and inside it says "mensile (monthly)" but in the publication period it skips 19 months.
A similar series, "Phantom Selezione", was also published by Fratelli Spada featuring "The Phantom". The number of issues and release dates were the same for both series.
Regular series
The stories in Mandrake Selezione were mainly dailies by Fred Fredericks, except one Sunday story and one reprint of a Fratelli Spada story. The series also printed various back-up stories such as: "Secret Agent X9", "Big Ben Bolt", "Captain Kate", "Cino e Franco (Tim Tyler's Luck)", "Cisco Kid", "Flash Gordon" and "Rip Kirby".
In August 1977 (issue 5) there is a sheet with two stickers. These are found in both the Mandrake and Phantom Selezione issues as well as also in the issues 3 and 4 in the Gordon series. There are four different sheets of stickers and these may vary within the same number. In total there are two stickers with Mandrake, two with the Phantom and four with drawings from Flash Gordon.
Album series
Unsold issues of the series were later collected into Super Mandrake albums with new covers.
