Mandrake the Magician / Volume One: the complete newspaper dailies 1934-1936 (exact title without capital letters) is a hardcover book published by "Hermes Press" in March 2024. Each page has two dailies strips in large format.
It is presented as reprints of the "Mandrake the Magician" daily stories initially published by "King Features Syndicate" from 1934 to 1936.
In fact this book was pre-ordered since at least 2020/2021 under the projected edition The Complete Newspaper Dailies: Volume 1934-1936 but not finally released in at the time (then only cover and exact title being different).

Articles
- "Introduction - The Mandrake Mystique" by Arne R.Flaten from Purdue University (article how the Mandrake character appears in comics, movies, press and radion serial worlds)
- "Production Note" (unsigned) : a note about the difficulties to find readable material from the first stories as some strips have to be combined from different sources. It also emphasies that, the "future volumes of the series will see this issue fade away as tear sheets become more complete". Also noted that there are some sizing differences of varying reproductions in some pages where the strips do not fit perfectly into the book layout.
