Diamond Comics Digest was a comic book from India featuring Mandrake the Magician.

History

The series began publishing Mandrake stories in 1992, after Indrajal Comics had ceased publication. Diamond Comics Digest was published by Diamond Comics and featured different comics in each issue.

Each issue was published in English, Hindi and Bengali versions. The issues were in color and in pocket book format, with 68 to 140 pages per issue. The series had an unusual double numbering. First, a sequential numbering for the entire digest series, given in roman numerals. Then, a separate sequential numbering for each comic in regular numbers. On top of that, the digest numbering was different for each language version.

Most (if not all) issues were reprinted in new editions over and over again, sometimes with new cover art. Without any numbering some of the covers and stories from the regular series are to find as giveaway's.

The last Mandrake issue with new contents was probably published in the year 2000.
