Description:

This Turkish black-and-white issue of Küçük Prens is part of the 1980s publications of the classic Franco-Belgian medieval adventure series Johan et Pirlouit, created by Peyo. Published in 1984 by Şiiler Yayınevi, this release is Issue #1 in its Turkish numbering and presents the story Devle Karşı Karşıya, originally titled La Source des Dieux, listed as story number 6 in the original series chronology.

La Source des Dieux is a fantasy-driven adventure that blends medieval superstition, mythic elements, and moral themes, highlighting the dynamic partnership between Johan and Pirlouit. Stories from this middle period of the series reflect Peyo’s mature narrative style, balancing humor, tension, and character development within richly imagined medieval settings.

As with other Turkish editions of the period, this comic is printed in black and white, although the original European album was published in full color. A notable collector feature is the cover artwork, newly illustrated by a Turkish artist and distinct from the original European cover, making this edition a regional variant with increased collectible appeal for enthusiasts of Peyo’s work and Turkish comic history.
