Mandrake

Stepping out of the Silver Age Italian comics scene, Mandrake made their debut in 1960 courtesy of creator Enzo Carretti, launching what would become a remarkably enduring presence across Italian publications for over three decades. Published by Edizioni Fratelli Spada, this character anchored multiple series — including both volumes of Mandrake - Il Vascello and Collana Super Fumetti — accumulating 103 catalog appearances that speak to a genuine, lasting readership. Throughout those adventures, Mandrake keeps company with the distinctive Lothar, and at least one of those issues has earned key-issue recognition among collectors. For fans of Italian Silver Age comics and the rich tradition of fumetti publishing, this is a character whose longevity alone makes them well worth seeking out.
