  • "Introduction - The Mandrake Mystique" by ? (article about the Mandrake character in comics, movies, press and radion serial)
  • "Production Note" (unsigned) : a note about the difficulties to find readable material from the first stories as some strips have to be combined from different sources. It also emphasies that, the "future volumes of the series will see this issue fade away as tear sheets become more complete". Also noted that there are some sizing differences of varying reproductions in some pages where the strips do not fit perfectly into the book layout.
