Note
As a curiosity it can be mentioned when Mario Nerbini did print the first Mandrake story in the Italian weekly magazine "L'Avventuroso" someone edited some of the original panels by Phil Davis. One find panels with ekstra ink on a lightly dressed Barbara as well as human remains are removed from the lion cave. As a result of the lack of original U.S. stripes it was this censored version which was used as source for new printings in various countries.
