Asterix – Asterix and the Soothsayer 1997 Turkish Edition Comic Turkey

Asterix – “Kâhin” (Asterix and the Soothsayer) – 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 presents “Kâhin”, the Turkish edition of Asterix and the Soothsayer, a satirical and character-driven story focusing on superstition, manipulation, and social psychology within the Gaulish village. The arrival of a mysterious soothsayer disrupts village life, leading to chaos, paranoia, and humor driven by misunderstandings rather than brute force. This edition was published in 1997 and constitutes Issue No. 7 of the Remzi Yayınevi Asterix series.
