History
The first issue (July 30th, 1942) of the third Afacan series printed Mandrake began to be featured on the cover. From issue 27 Mandrake was shifted onto the b&w interior pages. By this time, the dire economic situation of the war-time era was apparently taking its toll on Afacan as paper and printing quality began to detoriate. Mandrake would be missing in # 37 and when he resumed in the next issue, the image quality was at an all-time low. With # 39, Afacan began to print Mandrake in a traced form. And that would not last long either as the werewolf adventure was left incomplete on # 40. Afacan, without Mandrake, survived for two more issues only.
