Mandrake stories

Note

The story starting with the strip of May 1, 1941 - skipping three and a half weeks from the beginning. Pictures with scantily clad ladies have been over-inked with slightly more decent clothes.

Back cover

Starting in 1942 the back covers of issues from the "Las Grandes Aventuras" and the "Los Albumes Preferidos por la Juventud" (Colleción "Audaz" & Aventuras y Misterio) printed various collector cards, which could be glued into different collecting albums. These folded "Álbumes Centella" sheets could be ordered free and measured 17,5x25 cm.

  • Sticker: Serie 06-03: Alfonso Aparicio Gutiérrez, Atlético Aviación (squad of 1943-44)
  • Sticker: Serie 11-13: Stan Laurel, actor
  • Sticker: Serie 11-12: Oliver Hardy, actor
  • Coupon to order collecting albums for the stickers (note: only for the series 1 to 15, 17, 18, 21, 23 and 24)

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 #86 in the "Las Grandes Aventuras" series, most likely published in January 1944.
