Swiping
"La bambola drogata" is a cut and past story. Mandrake and friend are lifted from Phil Davis art from late 50s and early 60s. While others figures and panels are taken from other various sources, a few look like drawn by Mirabella. This collage story was added extra ink and became a new Mandrake story.
