I Classici dell'Avventura was published monthly by Fratelli Spada January 1962 to February 1967.

History

The series had a cartridge on the upper left mentioning the title I Classici dell'Avventura, the format size of 15 x 21 cm for most of the issues, and 100 pages per issue. The series was launched immediately after La Freccia's series ended.

This series alternated between the adventures of Mandrake (uneven issue numbers) and the Phantom (even issue numbers). The series had a total of 134 issues, of which 67 issues were devoted to Mandrake stories. The first issue dedicated to Mandrake was issue #1 (January 10, 1962) and the last one was issue 133 (January 29, 1967). Issues #13, 15 and 25 had a bigger size of 17 × 24 cm and had the subtitle gigante.

Each issue included several Mandrake stories, until issue #61 in April 1964, from which only one Mandrake story was featured. Each issue now included two other comics such as "Tim Tyler's Luck", "Secret Agent X-9", "King of the Royal Mounted" and so on.

The covers was made by; E Carretti, D Mirabella, G Ferri, Tullo Palasciano, E Ciacci and M Caria.

In France, a similar series called Les héros du mystère roughly corresponded to the Mandrake issues from Fratelli Spada's I Classici dell'Avventura.
