Mandrake

Mandrake the Magician is a master illusionist and stage magician with hypnotic powers, published here in French by Éditions des Remparts. He adventures alongside his loyal companion Lothar and beloved Narda, using his extraordinary mental abilities to battle criminals and supernatural threats.

Born onto the Silver Age page in 1966 under the pen of Salvatore Stizza and the banner of Éditions des Remparts, this Mandrake is a fascinating corner of Franco-Belgian comics history — a character whose adventures unfolded across titles like Mandrake, Hop-là !, and Mandrake le magicien over an impressive 22-year span. Sharing the page with familiar figures like Lothar and Narda, he exists within a rich, storied world that clearly captivated French-language readers for generations. With only six catalog appearances logged, tracking down his issues is a genuine collector's quest — the kind of discovery that makes digging through European comics archives so rewarding.
