===Aventures et Mystères===
From issue #120, the format became vertical (size 18 x 27 cm up to 132 and finally 15 x 20 cm to the end ) and the titled changed for "'''Aventures et mystères'''" (nouns both plural). Furthermore, one large generic name of the character, here "'''Mandrake roi de la magie'''" ''(Mandrake King of Magic)'', is featured on the covers. Each issue of this second part of the series has 12 pages until issue #131 and 20 pages from issue #132 till the end.

The series now altering between "Mandrake" and "Le Roi de la Prairie". Note: an issue #151 ("Mission Accomplished", A "King of the Mounted Police story") has been announced, but seems never to have been published.
