Asterix – Asterix and the Secret Weapon 1997 1st Edition Turkish Edition Comic Turkey

Asterix – “Gül ve Kılıç” (Asterix and the Secret Weapon) – Turkish Edition, Remzi Yayınevi (1997)

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 contains “Gül ve Kılıç”, the Turkish edition of Asterix and the Secret Weapon, written and illustrated by Albert Uderzo. The story humorously explores themes of gender roles and social change within the familiar Asterix universe, introducing a group of strong female warriors and offering a satirical take on tradition versus innovation. Published in 1997, this book was released as Series No. 16 and represents the first Turkish edition of this title by Remzi Yayınevi.
