This issue includes five of the first six episodes of Nekradamus. Episode 5 is skipped in this reprint.

Nekrodamus (as it was called in the Spanish edition) was created in 1975 and is often reported to have been created for the Italian market and first published in Italy. However, while the Italian Skorpio issues are poorly documented, it seems the series publication was earlier in Argentina. The episode 'El monstruo del lago' has been clearly confirmed in Skorpio (Ediciones Récord) #24 (September 1976), while it is in Skorpio (Eura Editoriale) v2#30 (3 May 1978). The Italian Skorpio series started in 1977.

The source of this Australian printing could be Italy as that translation used Nekradamus.

The series has incorrectly been reported as published in France in La Route de l'Ouest (Aventures et Voyages) #89-96 (1982-1983). In 2020, Italian publisher 001 Edizioni announced it intended to publish a new edition of Nekradamus.
