Phantom e Mandrake - subtitled Avventura e magia nei personaggi di Lee Falk (translation: "Phantom and Mandrake. Adventure and magic for the Lee Falk's characters") is an Italian reference book, written by Alberto Becattini and Alessandro Tesauro, about the comics "The Phantom" and "Mandrake the Magician, both created by Lee Falk.

Various comics and Sunday pages - as well as comic book covers - are reproduced on almost all pages, unfortunately in black and white.

The book is divided into three main parts: the first being about Lee Falk, the second concerning "Mandrake The Magician" and the third on "The Phantom". It ends with two sub-parts with, for each character, the lists of daily strips as well as Sunday pages and a detailed list of Italian publications. The whole thing is completed with a color section of some comic book covers.
