History
Until the Super Albo issue 157, only the even numbered issues were devoted to "Mandrake the Magician", and the uneven numbered issues were devoted to "The Phantom". After issue 157, the series was split into two separate parts : Super Albo which continued printing only "The Phantom", while "Mandrake" was continued in a new series entitled Special Mandrake.
Almost all issues featured reprints of American newspapers stories, mainly daily stories. The format size was 17 × 24 cm with 64 or 80 pages. The issues also contained reprints of other American comic classics like "Tim Tyler's Luck", "Rip Kirby" and so on.
The following issues were all devoted to Mandrake:
