Mandrake the Magician #8: Rumble on the Road | The Trouble with Hobbies | Paperback

Mandrake the Magician #8 from Shakti Comics features two thrilling adventures from the classic daily strips — Rumble on the Road and The Trouble with Hobbies — showcasing Mandrake’s wit, illusion, and unshakable calm under pressure.

Story 1: Rumble on the Road
When a hacker named Reboot teams up with old-school bank robber Al Nifty, the duo unleash a high-tech crime wave. Reboot’s virus can stop all police vehicles mid-chase, letting them escape with ease. But when Mandrake steps in, his hypnotic powers and sharp intellect turn the tables — leading to a clever, action-packed showdown that blends old-school crime with modern technology.

Story 2: The Trouble with Hobbies
In this main story, eccentric collector Herkimer Hobbs, who loves testing old sayings, accidentally stumbles upon the stolen “Pearl of Ragoon.” When his horse “Blue” uncovers the hidden treasure, chaos ensues — from gunfire to mistaken identities. The chase leads straight to Mandrake’s mansion, Xanadu, where the magician gets drawn into a tangled web of greed, coincidence, and danger. Using his signature illusions and deductive brilliance, Mandrake unravels the mystery behind the stolen pearls.

A perfect blend of classic detective mystery, humor, and adventure, this volume brings to life Lee Falk’s timeless hero in all his charm and ingenuity.
