Published in 1992. Although Frew had moved from the old style of cover (see no 748, the blue background was used for a long time on all covers), they went between gloss paper covers to standard stock. So 1013 is on glossy paper, and 1014 is on plain. This went on for some time until they finally completely moved to the glossy, and longer wearing, covers.
First penned by Lee Falk in 1934, Mandrake the Magician is a beloved comic crime-fighter. With a wave of his enchanting hand, crooks and gangsters are hypnotized into submission. Believing the illusion that their weapons are deadly snakes and red-hot irons, criminals cast aside their defenses and are easily apprehended by the cunning magician and his allies. With his dapper mustache and top hat, Mandrake the Magician is an unforgettable classic comic hero.
