9ème art (sub-titled "Musée de la bande dessinée" - translation: "Comic strip museum") was a series of articles published in the popular weekly comic-magazine "Spirou" from issue # 1392 (December 17, 1964) to # 1523 (June 22, 1967). Each article describes a famous old comic strip and pays tribute to its creators and is accompanied by comic strip extracts representative of the authors' art.
The series was written by Morris, himself creator of the well-known comic "Lucky Luke" and Pierre Vankeer who was a collector of comic strips, (in particular the American Golden Age) and a member of the CABD ("Cercle des Amis des Bandes Dessinées") and the CÉLEG (Centre d'études des littératures d'expression graphique).
Spirou magazine # 1408 (April 8, 1965) includes an article devoted to "Mandrake the Magician", composed of one page about Lee Falk and Phil Davis and of two pages illustrated by the July 11 and 18, 1937 Sunday pages taken from the story Prince Paulo the Tyrant as already published in the French comic magazine Robinson (issues #90 and 91).
