History

The company was specialized in anthology titles, and during the sixties and the seventies, reprinted a large number of comics stories from American comics in a black and white publications.

In that way, Alan Class reprinted several Mandrake stories from the American King Comics series in some of his own series such as "Creepy Worlds", "Secrets of the Unknown", "Sinister Tales", and "Uncanny Tales".

However it occured that Alan Class finally committed some copyright infringments as "King Features Syndicate" sued him over publishing rights to their original titles including the ones for Mandrake and and he had to stop the publication of that particular reprinted material.
