Issue overview
Regular series
This series features mainly reprint of stories previous printed in various Norwegian comics such as: "Dennis (Dennis the Menace)", "Fantomet (The Phantom", "Billy (Beetle Bailey)", Buster (Buster Brown)", "Serie bladet", "Hakke Hakkespett (Woody Woodpecker)", "Andy Capp", "Snurre Sprett (Bugs Bunny)", "Supermann (Superman), "Pink Panter", "Skippern (Popeye)" and on.
The first three issues did not have the Serie-pocket logo printed on the covers or inside, only with the characters name: "Dennis", "Billy" and "Fantomet". Then the serie started numbering each issue devoted to different characters: "Billy" #2, "Dennis" #1, "Fantomet" #1, "Buster" #1, and on. For unknown reasons, the first issue with "Dennis" and "Fantomet" were omitted in the numbering. The seventeenth issue devoted to "Andy Capp" was unnumered and then the series started to numbering for the Serie-pocket series. For unknown reasons, the eighteenth issues was numbered Serie-pocket #10 followed by #11 and on.
As of 2021, the series is still being published with over 294 books to date.
The 8 Mandrake issues reprinted stories previous printed in the "Fantomet" magazine.
