France Soir (Translation: "France Evening") was a French daily newspaper which was founded in 1944 for reaching a circulation of 1.5 million during the fifties and early sixties, at the time the best national selling number in its domain.
Among several French and American comics, "Mandrake the Magician" was published at various periods. No French titles were given to the stories and every daily strip received a specific number.
After having declined rapidly under various owners during the nineties, the newspaper was re-launched as a populist tabloid in 2006 but it was finally stopped at the end of 2011.
