Mandrake stories
- "Gli uomini senza volto" ("The Cobra" part 1) by Lee Falk and Phil Davis. (Note: missing the first part of the story, and ending in the next Mandrake issue)
Note
The series had a dual numbering with "Collana Albi grandi avventure" numbering on the back cover and "Ristampe di grande successo" on the front cover. The numering for the Ristampe.. is a bit confusing for this issue. The first three issues were dedicated to Lee Falk's "The Phantom": "L'Uomo mascherato", "Il fantasma che cammina" and "Nel regno di Singh". Then follows the Mandrake issues with Ristampe numbering 4. These issues were published weekly (July 10, 17, 24 and 31) but then there was a break of 5 weeks before the next issue was published on 4th of September. This 5th issue of the series was the second Mandrake issue in this series and has the Ristampe numbering 2, according to the sub Mandrake series. The Ristampe numbering 4 on the first Mandrake issue may be a typo, or the publisher first decided to split the series after the release of the first Mandrake issue.
