Use of Mandrake in the marketing
Mandrake Adventure
A short period (early 41 ?) one could obtain a colored cover for "Mandrake and the Jungle Giants", probably as a premium with a "Taystee Bread". Then every week afterwards there was a new issue of the "Mandrake Adventure". This folded sheet had four pages printed, three of them with a new chapter for the "Mandrake and the Jungle Giants" story and one page with a magic trick. Also printed adds for Taystee Bread with pictures of a bread with "Mandrake the Magician" on the wrapper. Six Mandrake Adventure sheet made the "Mandrake and the Jungle Giants" story.
