Conan #30 What If #13 the Barbarian Walked the Earth Today Turkish Comic Turkey
Conan – Alfa Serisi Issue #30 (Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları, 2001)
Description:
This is Issue #30 of the Conan – Alfa Serisi, a Turkish-language Conan comic published in 2001 by Alfa Yayınları. Part of a 34-issue run released between 1999 and 2001, the Alfa Serisi stands out for its eclectic selection of source material, occasionally stepping outside standard Conan series to include more experimental and unusual content.
Printed in black and white, this issue features the complete adaptation of What If #13 – “Conan the Barbarian Walked the Earth Today”, a unique Marvel story that reimagines Conan in the modern world. Departing from traditional Hyborian Age settings, this speculative tale explores how Conan’s raw strength, code of honor, and warrior instincts would translate into contemporary society.
The inclusion of a What If? storyline makes Issue #30 one of the most unconventional entries in the Alfa Serisi. Rather than focusing solely on classic sword-and-sorcery, it offers a conceptual twist that blends fantasy with modern themes, appealing to collectors who enjoy alternate-universe narratives and Marvel’s experimental side.
For collectors, Issue #30 is particularly notable for its rarity in concept within Turkish Conan publications. Its modern setting, standalone nature, and origin outside the main Conan series make it a standout and conversation-worthy piece in any Alfa Serisi collection.
