Back cover

Starting in 1944 the back covers of issues from the "Las Grandes Aventuras" and the "Los Albumes Preferidos por la Juventud" printed various collector cards. This issue has a picture of José Manuel Sánchez-Dindurra Álvarez, from Real Gijón (squad 1944-45).

In 1983 Joaquín Esteve edited in collaboration with "Club Amigos de la Historieta" a facsimile reprint of this issue. The back cover is with only one printing plate for prussian blue.

Note

The "Las Grandes Aventuras" (or other series by Hispano Americana) have no numbering or date printed on the cover or inside, thus making it difficult to make an index in chronological order. Fortunately, most of the back covers from the series "Las Grandes Aventuras" and "Los Albumes Preferidos por la Juventud" series (Colleción "Audaz" & Aventuras y Misterio) have a back-list and an ad for the next issue. Sometime also the current or next issue for the other series.

Comparing the back covers of the first print issues prior this Mandrake issue it is possible to make a list which shows that this Mandrake issue was #114 in the "Las Grandes Aventuras" series, most likely published in March 1945. The following issue, "El Hombre Enmascarado" El Viejo de la Montaña, is mentioned in the "Leyendas Infantiles" #148 released on March 31 1945.
