The pre WWII years
In the early years Phil Davis drew the daily strips on large Bristol board (22.5 x 28.5 inches - about 572 x 724 mm), where the art for one strip covered about 20.5 x 4.5 inches (520.7 x 114.3 mm). The daily strip were printed in newspapers with 8 columns a page, and with the Mandrake strip spanning 6 columns. The newspapers were printed in different sizes and the columns therefore had different widths. But if a column was about 1.83 inches wide the printed Mandrake strip was about 11 x 2.4 inches (280 x 61 mm), -about the width of a standard modern comic book (10 and 1/8 inches).
