The Herkül series ran for a total of 10 issues and followed the publisher’s typical format of high page count, mixed content, and retitled material drawn from different genres and sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eThis issue contains two distinct stories. The first, Herkül – Sfenks’e Karşı, presents a mythologically inspired adventure centered on the legendary hero \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eHeracles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, adapted into comic form for Turkish readers. The second story, Gol Kralı – İtalyan Taktiği, is a football-themed comic focused on Tottenham United, reflecting the era’s interest in blending sports narratives with illustrated storytelling. This juxtaposition of ancient mythology and contemporary football drama within a single volume is characteristic of Hasal Yayınları’s eclectic editorial approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1460\"\u003ePrinted across 96 pages on inexpensive paper, Herkül Issue #4 represents a niche but intriguing example of early 1980s Turkish comics, where mythological adaptations and sports stories coexisted within the same publication. For collectors, the appeal lies in both the short publication history of the series and the publisher’s tendency to experiment with content combinations that were rarely sustained over long runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003e• Series: Herkül\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1516\"\u003e• Issue: Issue #4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1548\"\u003e• Publisher: Hasal Yayınları\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003e• Publication Year: 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1599\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003e• Printing: Black \u0026amp; White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1654\"\u003e• Page Count: 96 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1730\"\u003e• Includes Stories: Herkül – Sfenks’e Karşı; Gol Kralı – İtalyan Taktiği\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1732\" data-end=\"1767\"\u003e• Series Run: 10 issues published\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"1820\"\u003e• Genre Mix: Mythology and football-themed comics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1857\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Condition: Tear on the final page\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47701737603210,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_468dac38-9cab-4dbe-a85f-f25b22bc1f5f.jpg?v=1771259972","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/herkul-4-1981-turkish-comic-turkey-heracles-tottenham-united","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
