Censorship

The Cobra

Italy Nerbini

When Mario Nerbini did print the first Mandrake story in the Italian weekly magazine L'Avventuroso someone did edit some of the original panels by Phil Davis. One find panels with ekstra ink on a lightly dressed Barbara as well as human remains are removed from the lion cave. As a result of the lack of original U.S. stripes it was this censored version which was used as source for new printings. When "The Cobra" was reprinted in Comics Revue, most of the censored strips were restored, but somehow Barbara's bathing suit was missed.
