Due to lack of paper Bonelli tried for 4 issues (from 385 to 388) to launch a really small horizontal format version, almost half the size of the previous numbers and in two-tone color with larger number of pages (12 instead of 8), while remaining the same price. Also there is no more comic story on backcover. 

In the introduction, Bonelli says that Orlando stories couldn't be published in this format but he announced a new large register dedicated to Orlando and also to "I Conquistatori dello Spazio".

Orlando register will come out 4 months later as Audace Supplementi Serie V N. 5 while "I Conquistatori dello Spazio" never came out and was left incomplete.

The scientist, his daughter and the young Claudio Reni are in Himalaya to reach the summit of Everest, but their expedition is soon hampered by the mysterious aircraft equipped with advanced weapons from an unknown city whose leader aspires to conquer the planet. The closing of the weekly at the thirteenth issue abruptly interrupts the series, which remains incomplete.

First table appeared on Audace N. 338 on a backcover and in color. It comes out for 41 issues in color, up to N. 378, before it is moved inside and in b/w for another 6 tables, (from N. 379 to N. 384) and concludes in black/red two tone in N. 385, where it is left incomplete. In 1943 the story was reprinted again in the Albo d'Oro Audace, but this time too it is incomplete. Finally, in 1950, the Audace publishing house reissues the Paparella plates in two issues of the Collana Ragno D’oro, setting the story no longer in 1950 but in 1960. With this edition, the story finally finds its conclusion,
