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 and immersed them in extended narratives with memorable villains and a colorful support cast. The strips presented in this series of reprints feature two staple characters in addition to the master magician: Lothar and Princess Narda, ruler of the mythical European kingdom, Cockaigne. This second volume of the series presents six stories: 'Return of the Clay Camal,' 'The Slave Traders of Tygandi,' 'Mandrake in the Lost World,' 'In the Cobra's Grip,' and 'Mandrake in America.'
