Conan #1 The Savage Sword of Conan #62 Turkish Comic Turkey The Barbarian #1

Conan – Yeni Dizi Issue #1 – “Kaplan Adam Tapınağı” (Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları, 2002)

Description:

This is Issue #1 of Conan – Yeni Dizi, a Turkish-language Conan comic published in 2002 by Alfa Yayınları. Printed in black and white, this short-lived series consisted of a total of 7 issues and represents one of Alfa Yayınları’s later Conan projects, released well after Conan had become firmly established among Turkish readers and collectors.

The main feature story in this issue is “Kaplan Adam Tapınağı”, the Turkish edition of material originally published as The Savage Sword of Conan Issue #62. Known for its darker tone and visceral sword-and-sorcery storytelling, the Savage Sword line delivers a raw and atmospheric Conan, which translates effectively into the stark black-and-white presentation of this Turkish edition.

In addition, this issue includes “Conan’ın Gelişi”, adapted from Conan the Barbarian Issue #1. As the very first Conan comic story ever published in that series, it holds special historical significance, depicting Conan’s arrival into the wider world and setting the foundation for decades of storytelling that followed. The combination of an early Savage Sword story with Conan’s original comic debut makes this issue particularly noteworthy.

For collectors, Issue #1 of the Yeni Dizi series stands out not only as the starting point of a short 7-issue run, but also for bringing together two landmark Conan stories from different original series within a single Turkish publication.
