In the first 43 issues the adventures published in the weekly Audace are re-proposed, in some cases clumsily adapted and reassembled at the time of publication because they are no longer in line with the war events. From # 44 the new adventures of Furio Almirante begin. From # 68 it becomes Furio Mascherato. Text stories have also been published within the registers. The rubrics contained were as follows: "Tutti Prestigiatori!" of The Chinese Magician, "La corsa di tutte le possibilità" by Lo Sportivo, "Bilancio di un campionato" by A.Conti, "L'eterna giovinezza del Giro d'Italia" by O.Bettini, “L’angolo dello sportivo” by Vincenzo Baggioli, “Radio Audace ”by Nonno Audace (another pseudonym of Gianluigi Bonelli),"L'Asso del vostro cuore", "Gli amici di Furio ridono..."
On # 5 of the series the prize competition "The youngest Italian writer" was launched, which saw Sergio Bonelli win second place with the short story "The heroes of the mountain". These stories are indicated with the sign * in the cards of the books in which they are published. During the publication of the series, several competitions were announced for readers. # 41 and # 42 mistakenly carry # 49 and # 50 on the cover, on which in both cases the correct number has been overlaid with a stamp.
