Mandrake

A two-issue Swedish comic series from Åhlén & Åkerlunds, Mandrake collects the early newspaper adventures of Lee Falk and Phil Davis’s master illusionist. Published in 1945–1946, this brief run brings the magician’s classic, pre-superhero mystery and charm to a European audience. It’s a neat snapshot of Falk and Davis’s foundational work on the character, offering a compact glimpse into the golden age of adventure strips.
