Batman The Dark Knight Returns #2 1989 Turkish Comic Turkey

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (Turkish Newspaper Edition) – Milliyet Gazetesi, 1989 – Issue #2

Description:

This is a Turkish-language, full-color Batman comic distributed free of charge with Milliyet newspaper in 1989. The series consisted of a total of four issues, released as a promotional newspaper giveaway.

This particular copy is Issue #2 of the series and is titled “Kara Şövalyenin Dönüşü,” corresponding to the original work “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,” the legendary storyline written by Frank Miller. The series is widely regarded as one of the most influential and defining works in Batman’s publishing history.

Printed on thin, low-quality newspaper paper due to its promotional nature, this edition was not designed for long-term preservation. As a result, copies that have survived in decent condition are increasingly difficult to find today. Despite this, the comic remains fully colored and preserves its original Turkish-language content, reflecting the era’s approach to adapting major comic book stories for newspaper distribution in Türkiye.

This issue represents an important example of how iconic graphic novels were introduced to Turkish readers through mainstream media channels during the late 1980s, making it a desirable item for Batman collectors, Frank Miller fans, and those interested in newspaper-distributed comics.
