Asterix – Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield 2000 1st Edition Turkish Edition Comic Turkey

Asterix – “Galya Kalkanı” (Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield) – Turkish Edition, Remzi Yayınevi (2000)

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 volume features “Galya Kalkanı”, the Turkish edition of Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield, written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo. The story revolves around the mysterious fate of Vercingetorix’s shield, a powerful symbol of Gallic resistance after the Battle of Alesia. Asterix and Obelix embark on a humorous journey through Roman-controlled Gaul, encountering regional stereotypes, Roman bureaucracy, and plenty of classic slapstick along the way.

Published in 2000, this book is Series No. 25 and represents the first edition of this title within the Remzi Yayınevi Turkish Asterix series. It is especially appreciated for its sharp satire, historical references, and its focus on Gallic identity and pride.
