Mandrake the Magician

[tjuo]

Apparently there was not already a thread for scenes from the Mandrake the Magician comic strip. Here are all the scenes I have from the years with the original artist(s) (1934 - 1965), and a few colour reprints. Not sure if any of these will be new to anyone here.

They are almost all new to me, and some great finds here. Really like this classic art style akin to the earlier Phantom strips. It's not Matt Baker, but the characters are illustrated carefully and the bondage always looks great.

Thanks for sharing. I'm partial to jungle babes in jods and tall boots, so the Northern Africa story with Libie is my pick of the lot.
