Mandrake: Merlín el Mago

Ediciones Vértice’s 1980–1981 series Mandrake: Merlín el Mago reimagines Lee Falk’s classic magician Mandrake as a Spanish-language adventure, blending supernatural mystery with swashbuckling action across 17 issues. The title’s nod to Merlin hints at a deeper exploration of magical lore, though the series remains grounded in Mandrake’s signature stage-craft and crime-fighting. While specific creators are uncredited in available facts, this short-lived run stands as a distinctive European take on the iconic character during Vértice’s prolific era of licensed comics.
