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".
Album series
Unsold issues of the series were later collected into Super Mandrake albums with new covers.
