Asterix – Asterix and the Black Gold 1996 1st Edition Turkish Edition Comic Turkey

Asterix – “Kara Altın” (Asterix and the Black Gold) – Turkish Edition, Remzi Yayınevi (1996)

Description:

This is a Turkish-language, softcover Asterix comic published by Remzi Yayınevi as part of the publisher’s long-running and highly regarded Asterix series issued between 1994 and 2020. Over the course of this period, a total of 37 Asterix titles were published, making this the most complete and faithful Turkish Asterix series to date.

Printed entirely in color and produced to European album standards, the Remzi Yayınevi editions are widely considered the closest Turkish printings to the original Franco-Belgian albums, both in physical dimensions and translation quality. Unlike earlier Turkish editions that often involved altered dialogue, localized humor, or format compromises, this series aimed to remain highly faithful to the original artwork, storytelling, and tone.

This issue contains “Kara Altın”, the Turkish edition of Asterix and the Black Gold, an adventure that blends classic Asterix humor with political and geopolitical satire. The story revolves around oil, power struggles, and Roman intrigue in the Near East, making it one of the series’ more topical and internationally themed albums, while still delivering the familiar wit and action fans expect. Published in 1996, this volume is released as Issue No. 12 in the Remzi Yayınevi series and represents the first edition of this title within the series.
