Buffalo Bill – Volume #7 1981 Turkish Comic Turkey Marshal, le shérif de Dodge City
Buffalo Bill – Volume 7 (Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları)
Description:
This is a Turkish-language, black-and-white comic book from the Buffalo Bill series, published by Alfa Yayınları in 1981. In Turkey, the series was released in a total of 7 collected volumes, and this book represents the final volume (Volume 7) of the set.
As with the other volumes in the series, this Turkish edition features German-origin cover artwork taken from the well-known Bastei Buffalo Bill series, the longest-running Buffalo Bill comic series worldwide. The original German series was published by Bastei Verlag between 1975 and 1984, reaching 295 issues.
Although the covers originate from Germany, the interior stories are of Italian and French origin, reflecting the international nature of European western comics. The Turkish run by Alfa Yayınları was short-lived, lasting only around four months before being discontinued, which makes later volumes especially the final one particularly desirable for collectors.
In addition to Buffalo Bill stories, this volume includes extra comic material not always found in earlier volumes. These include OSS, a spy-themed comic, and Honda, a western comic originally titled “Marshal, le shérif de Dodge City.” The inclusion of multiple genres within a single volume highlights the eclectic editorial approach common in Turkish comic publishing of the early 1980s.
Printed in black and white due to production constraints of the period, this final volume represents an important closing chapter of the Turkish Buffalo Bill series and is a notable piece for collectors of European western comics and Turkish comic history.
