Behind the scenes
- Translation of the "Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México" comments: "A Mexican version of "Mandrake the Magician". Like other classic American comic series, this comic is "adapted" by the pioneers of "Pepín" from the Valdiosera studio. More than bad faith, the copy denotes the naiveté of the young comic book artists, as well as their lack of information about copyright."
