Back cover
The back covers of this issue has an ad for four books from Hispano Americana's "Colección Cumbre " series: "La Flecha Negra" & "El Dinamitero" by Robert L. Stevenson and "Aventuras de Arturo Gordon Pym" & "El Misterio de María Roget" by Edgar Allan Poe. This ad is also found on the back covers of: "Tarzán" Los Mensajeros del Mal, "Carlos el Intrepido" Mas Alta de la Puerta de Cristal & El Idolo de la Caverna, "Jorge y Fernando" Nido de Destrucción. "Aventuero" issue 17 also has the same ad.

Note
The "Las Grandes Aventuras" (or other series by Hispano Americana) have no numbering or date printed on the cover or inside, thus making it difficult to make an index in chronological order. Fortunately, most of the back covers from the series "Las Grandes Aventuras" and "Los Albumes Preferidos por la Juventud" series (Colleción "Audaz" & Aventuras y Misterio) have a back-list and an ad for the next issue. Sometime also the current or next issue for the other series.
Comparing the back covers of the first print issues prior this Mandrake issue it is possible to make a list which shows that this Mandrake issue was #139 in the "Las Grandes Aventuras" series, most likely published in February/April 1946.
