Six complete story lines from 1965-1967. Plus two introductions and a complete checklist of all the Lee Falk / Fredericks stories.I am not sure who is to blame ( Titan Books or Amazon) for the confusion with probably another 2nd volume of the Phil Davis Strips. But the they have both the title and the description mixed up. The cover is also similar but different. I will post a photo of the actual cover. The subtitle of the book is not “The Lost World” but instead “The Return Of Evil- The Cobra”.The book is 240 pages in a landscape format ( wider then tall) with a sewn binding and a sturdy matte finish pages. The strips are reproduced 3 to a page. The images are sharp with good line restoration.This period in the strip is very significant as Lee Falk and Fred Fredericks reinvent the strip. Luthor his companion evolves from loyal Man Servant to a full partne. Luthor stops speaking in broken English and eventually loses his Fez. The storylines stop featuring unexplained Magic or Illusions to resolve the plot but now rely on Mandrake’s wits. Mandrake gets a secret Hideout/ Fortress called Xanadu and starts working for the secret organization called Inter-Intel. The Mandrake strip begins to emulate a James Bond/ Man From Uncle type feel which was just emerging to popularity. Narda, Mandrake’s princess girlfriend becomes more like a Bond Girl Eye Candy. She is often pictured in a bikini lounging around the pool at Xanadu. And to his credit Fredericks draws a nice female figure.The six stories included are covered here:1) ODD FELLOW in this first Fredericks story he does a good job of emulating Phil Davis with a very overly rendered style to start with a rapidly morphs into Fredericks own clear illustration style with lots of zip-a-tone work for shading. This is quirky Science Fiction tale similiar to what had gone down previously.2) THE SIGN OF THE 8 introduces both Mandrake’s lair Xanadu and the secret bad guy organization called the 8. This is the start of The more spy like adventures.3) THE WITCHES introduces a pretty debutant who is being hypnotized to steal by some costumed phonies.4) THE UFO is another robbery scam this time using real UFO and pretend aliens. In the end we find it is the work of the 8.5) THE TRAIL OF THE 8 features the full return of that shady super spy group.6)THE RETURN OF EVIL- THE COBRA is the title named episode which reintroduces the Phantom Arch Enemy as a cloaked figure with a silver skull mask. I also enjoyed this story because it involves Princess Narda and gives her something to do besides sit around the pool in her bikini. Her brother the King finds his country overrun by The Cobra.I throughly enjoyed reading these stories.My Highest Recommendation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lee/Fredericks Continues the Legacy *by M***B on October 25, 2017* First things first, let me begin by sorting out the confusion created by the description given about the item on the amazon page. The book title says it is a collection of Fred Fredericks dailies, it is. But the description lists all the stories drawn by Phil Davis in 1936-37, which is incorrect. The stories start from the time when Fred Fredericks took over the strip from Phil Davis in 1965.It seems like Titan is attempting to run 4 series in parallel, Lee Falk being the author in all cases: The Phil Davis Dailies and Sundays, The Fred Fredericks Dailies and Sundays. At first the cover was a little confusing because all you expect to come after Vol 1 dailies is vol 2.This book contains six titles viz. "The Odd Fellow", "The Sign of 8", "The Witches", "The UFO", "The Trail of 8" and "The Return of Evil". Great to find that the two arch rivals of Mandrake and Co., Cobra and 8 show up in this volume. Expecting much more to come up in future.One can see the style of drawing getting refined over the first two stories and by the time Fred drew the third one he had fine tuned style which would continue to amaze the readers for the next 49 years.There are two descriptive essays in the beginning of the book. There is a list of all Lee/Fredericks titles (Until 2013) till he retired in the end.The pages are thick matte style. I hope Titan continues to publish the titles, and does them at a faster pace because there is so much to cover.Overall a great book for all Lee Falk/Mandrake Fans. If you are one, don't miss it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by B***O on December 21, 2017* Like others tomes.
