1001 Roman – Special Issue No. 24 (December 1941) Turkish Comic Magazine

Description:

This is an original Turkish comic magazine issue of 1001 Roman, Special Issue No. 24, published on December 1941 by Türkiye Yayınevi. 1001 Roman first appeared on 10 July 1939 under the ownership of Tahsin Demiray and was one of the most influential early comic magazines in Turkey and played a major role in introducing international comic strips to Turkish readers during the 1940s.

A distinctive characteristic of 1001 Roman was its publishing approach: character names were often changed, stories were adapted freely, and many comics were reproduced using copied artwork. As a result, identifying the original titles of certain stories can be difficult, and many were derived from American or British newspaper strips and comics. Alongside comic strips, the magazine also included prose stories, giving it a mixed narrative structure.

This particular issue carries the title “Doğu Yanıyor” (The East Is Burning). The main story revolves around a journalist named Franko (Franco) and is very likely adapted from a foreign newspaper strip, although the original title and creator remain unknown. In addition to comics, the magazine also includes prose stories, reflecting the hybrid format typical of 1001 Roman during this era.

With its wartime publication date, early comic adaptations, and historical significance within Turkish popular culture, this issue represents an important artifact from the Golden Age of Turkish illustrated magazines.
