1001 Roman – Special Issue No. 49 (January 3, 1944) – Turkish Comic Magazine

Description:

This is an original Turkish comic magazine issue of 1001 Roman, Special Issue No. 39, published on March 3, 1943 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 feature of this issue is “İki İzci – Fildişi Tüccarı” (“Two Scouts – The Ivory Trader”). This story is a Turkish adaptation of the famous American adventure comic strip Tim Tyler’s Luck, created by Lyman Young. In the Turkish edition, the title and character presentation were localized, but the adventurous spirit and narrative structure of the original strip remain clearly recognizable.

This issue is considered highly collectible, as it represents an early international adaptation of Tim Tyler’s Luck and serves as a strong example of how classic American adventure comics were introduced to Turkish audiences during World War II.
