Capitan Miki #1 Il Ranger del Nevada Turkish Comic Turkey EsseGesse 2007

Tommiks – Kalede Bir Ranger – Hoz Comics Turkish Edition (2007)

Description:

This comic is from the Tommiks series titled Kalede Bir Ranger, published in Turkey by Hoz Comics in 2007. The series ran for a total of thirty-four issues and is a comprehensive collection of Tommiks adventures, offering multiple stories within each issue rather than focusing on a single narrative.

The character known in Turkey as Tommiks originates from the Italian comic Capitan Miki, created by the renowned Italian comic trio EsseGesse. In the original series, Miki is a young but highly capable ranger who earns the rank of captain after completing a series of successful missions in Nevada. His adventures combine classic western action, humor, and engaging character interactions, elements that have made the series one of the most celebrated European western comics.

Miki is accompanied by his fiancée Susy, the daughter of the fort’s commandant, and his loyal friends Doppio Rhum (Double Rum) and Dottor Salasso (Doctor Bloodletting). Together, they navigate frontier conflicts, outlaw pursuits, and the everyday challenges of life in the American West. The series captures the adventurous spirit of the original Capitan Miki stories while presenting them to Turkish readers in a locally produced format.

This edition includes the story Kalede Bir Ranger, which corresponds to the original Italian story Il Ranger del Nevada, along with several additional Tommiks stories compiled within the same issue. The black-and-white printing maintains a classic comic aesthetic, emphasizing the narrative and detailed linework of the original European comics.

The covers for this series were created by a Turkish artist, making them distinct from the Italian originals. This localization and cover artistry enhance the collectible value of the series, as each issue presents unique visual interpretations while preserving the classic storytelling style of the original Capitan Miki adventures. For collectors, this series is particularly valuable due to its extensive run, black-and-white format, and Turkish cover illustrations.
