History

Mandrake's second appearance in Turkey was the weekly children magazine Ateş published by Türkiye Yayinevi. "Mandrake - Şimşek Adam" (The Lighting Man) began to be serialized in two pages in "Ateş - Çocuklar İçin" #14 (February 2, 1937), joining two other comics series.

Issue overview

Regular series

Issues with Mandrake

The Mandrake adventure serialized in this first series of Ateş was his first-ever daily strip from 1934 where he meets his arch-nemesis the Cobra. The story had already been serialized in Turkey in Büyük Gazete in 1935. Ateş presented the story in an edited form, omitting several panels, even entire strips. In issue 36 Mandrake also appeared on the cover, the first-ever appearance of the character on the cover of a Turkish publication. The cover art is by Ercümend Kalmuk (1909-1971), a staff illustrator for Türkiye Yayınları.
