Conan #4 The Savage Sword of Conan #65 Turkish Comic Turkey The Barbarian #4
Conan – Yeni Dizi Issue #4 – “Yılanın Dişleri” (Turkish Edition, Alfa Yayınları, 2002)
Description:
This is Issue #4 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 “Yılanın Dişleri”, the Turkish edition of material originally published as The Savage Sword of Conan Issue #65. True to the Savage Sword tradition, this story leans heavily into dark fantasy themes, brutal combat, and sinister forces, presenting Conan in a violent and morally harsh world shaped by treachery and survival.
Also included is “Fil Kulesi”, adapted from Conan the Barbarian Issue #4. Widely regarded as one of the most iconic and influential Conan stories ever published in comic form, “The Tower of the Elephant” is celebrated for its atmospheric storytelling, tragic undertones, and lasting impact on the Conan mythos. Its inclusion significantly enhances the collector value of this issue.
For collectors, Issue #4 stands out as one of the strongest entries in the Yeni Dizi run, combining a later Savage Sword chapter with one of the most legendary early Conan the Barbarian stories in a single Turkish edition.
