Batman: Knightfall #1 1996 Turkish Comic Turkey

Batman: Knightfall (Turkish Newspaper Edition) – Sabah Gazetesi, 1996 – Issue #1

Description:

This is a Turkish-language, full-color Batman comic distributed free of charge by Sabah Gazetesi in 1996 as part of the Batman: Knightfall storyline. The series consisted of a total of 10 issues, released as a promotional newspaper giveaway.

This particular copy is Issue #1 of the series and is titled “Batman Şövalyenin Düşüşü.” It corresponds to Batman #498 in the original American series, marking the beginning of the iconic Knightfall saga in which Batman faces one of the most defining turning points in his history.

Due to its promotional distribution, the comic was printed on thin, low-quality newspaper paper, making copies that have survived in good condition difficult to find today. Despite the fragile paper stock, the comic is fully colored and preserves its original Turkish translation, reflecting how major Batman story arcs were introduced to Turkish readers through mainstream newspapers during the 1990s.
