1001 Roman – Special Issue No. 36 (December 3, 1942) – Turkish Comic Magazine

Description:

This is an original Turkish comic magazine issue of 1001 Roman, Special Issue No. 36, published on December 3 1942 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.

The main story of this issue is titled “Kahraman Süvari” (The Heroic Cavalryman). The original title is unknown, but the story is a Western-themed narrative focusing on a cowboy named Jim. Another character, Jo Broki (possibly Joe Brooky), is mentioned, strongly suggesting that the story was adapted from an American Western strip. This issue is a representative example of early Turkish adaptations of Western comics during World War II–era publishing.

Due to its age, genre, and adaptation history, this issue holds notable collectible value for early Turkish comic and Western comic enthusiasts.
