MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN The Complete Dailies Volume 4 1939-1941

Mandrake the Magician began as a daily strip on June 11, 1934, and whether Lee Falk knew it as a sophomore at the University of Illinois, he was making history. Mandrake the Magician whisked readers to exotic locales (often fictional amalgams of the Orient, the Middle East, India or Eastern Europe) and immersed them in extended narratives with memorable villains and a colorful supporting cast. Volume Four of the Complete Dailies presents: "Mandrake in North Africa," "The Mountain Bandits," "The Museum Mystery," "The Octopus Ring," and "Dr. Griff's Invention," published between 1939 and 1941.
