Mandrake Especial

Brazilian publisher Editora Globo’s Mandrake Especial ran for 26 issues from 1987 to 1989, offering a dedicated showcase for the classic magician-hero created by Lee Falk. This series collected and reprinted Falk’s newspaper strips alongside new material, bringing the master of illusion to a new generation of Portuguese-language readers. It stands as a key part of Globo’s broader effort to popularize American adventure comics in Brazil during the late 1980s.
