L'Audace

L'Audace was published by Socetà Anonima Editori Vecchi in Italy.

History

L'Audace was a weekly magazine for travel, sports and adventure from the start in 1934. Its initial format was changed to a larger one (27 x 39 cm) from issue #35 and began to include comics from #60 in 1935. The format changed once more from #95 (27 x 39 cm).

From #60 the magazine had 16 pages and was printed in b/w and color, before to be reduced to 12 pages from #182.

The magazine reprinted the first seven Sunday stories with Mandrake. From the beginning with full pages in color on the back cover, then from issue #147 in b/w or in color inside the magazine, sharing the page with other material.

In this series using an inversed name, Mandrake appears under the title of "Drakemanre dalla magia" but, at the end, the stories were simply released under the more gerenic title of "Il re della magia". Lothar was renamed Otto.
