History

This series is following the one previously released between 1934 and 1942 by Paul Winkler, the man at the head of the Press agency Opera Mundi which was the European largest feature syndicate.

In this current "Le journal de Mickey" series, Paul Winkler was still active in the editor staff for many years and his Opera Mundi Agency (which ceased its activities en 1990) furnished the classical comics coming from American print syndicates companies, such as "King Features Syndicate".

"Mandrake the Magician" has been featured, without interruption, from issue # 938 (June 7, 1970) to issue # 1791 (October 21, 1986) and in some others issues between 1986 and 1988. On the whole, it represents 35 dailies stories and 81 Sunday pages stories.

Unsold issues were later rebound in their original chronological publishing order.
