From N. 8 - N. 12 story "I conquistatori dello spazio" is reprinted, originally published in the Audace from N. 338 to N. 377. However, the story is incomplete because the following episodes published from N. 378 to N. 384 are missing (In Audace also series was abandoned and never completed).

Numbers 8 to 12 was a great success and needed a reprint, which was simply called "Albo d'Oro Audace Reprint".
In reality, only the publication date changes on the books, the advertisements on the back cover, and the second and third covers which are blank and no longer contain serial novels.

This number is undated, so we listed it unofficially under March 1944 following previous number monthly pattern.
