Blondie – Yeni Seri #7 80s Turkish Comic Turkey Chic Young

Fatoş (Blondie) – Yeni Seri #7 (Turkish Edition, Bora Yayınları, Early 1980s)

Description:

This is a Turkish-language, black-and-white comic book titled Fatoş, the Turkish adaptation of the classic American comic strip Blondie, originally created by American cartoonist Chic Young. Blondie is one of the most iconic and long-running comic strips in American popular culture, centered around the everyday life of Blondie, Dagwood, and their family.

The Turkish edition was published by Bora Yayınları, a publishing house founded in 1979 by Fuat Yılmaz. Bora Yayınları was particularly active during the early 1980s and became known for releasing various licensed and adapted comic characters for the Turkish market.

Due to the high cost of color printing in Turkey at the time, this edition was produced in black and white. The artwork was not printed directly from the original plates; instead, Turkish artists retraced and redrew the comics using tracing paper, adapting the visuals for local production while preserving the original compositions.

A distinctive feature of Bora Yayınları’s comic output is that each issue typically focused on a different character, rather than running a long, continuous series dedicated to a single title. This makes each issue a standalone collectible rather than part of a strictly serialized run.

This copy is from the Yeni Seri (New Series) and is Issue #7, representing Bora Yayınları’s adaptation of Blondie for Turkish readers during a period when American humor comics enjoyed strong popularity in Turkey.
