Mandrake's second appearance in the pages of a Moonstone Book will come in Phantom Annual #2. The script is finished and the art should begin on the massive 44 pager later this week. If all goes well, the book should hit stores this summer.

Any hints about the story (yes, I know I ask a lot about that, but this is a very special comic book event, after all)? I really wonder what problem could be so big it demands both of Lee Falk's creations to solve it.
And who's the artist? The same as for the 6-page Mandrake preview?

All I can say right now is that it has small connection to the current Checkmate arc in The Phantom and stars Mandrake, Lothar and the GWW.

Yes. Samicler Gonçalves is handling the artwork.

That is very cool. I look forward to see how the three characters will meet up again.
