Küçük Prens (Johan et Pirlouit) – “Sarı Peçe” – Issue #18 – Turkish Edition, Şiiler Yayınevi (1982)
Description:
This is a Turkish black-and-white edition of Küçük Prens, the localized publication of the classic Franco-Belgian medieval adventure series Johan et Pirlouit, created by Peyo. Published in 1982 by Şiiler Yayınevi, this release is Issue #18 of the Turkish numbering and features the story Sarı Peçe, originally titled Le Sire de Montresor, which is listed as story number 8 in the original series chronology.
Le Sire de Montresor is a character-driven tale built around intrigue, deception, and feudal power struggles, showcasing the series’ balance of adventure and subtle humor. Stories from this middle period of Johan et Pirlouit are especially valued for their refined storytelling and clear artistic identity, marking Peyo’s mature approach to medieval settings and narrative pacing.
As with many Turkish editions of the era, this comic was printed in black and white despite the original European version being published in color. A major point of collector interest is the cover artwork, which was newly illustrated by a Turkish artist rather than reproduced from the original cover, creating a distinctive local variant. In addition to the main story, the book includes a short bonus comic titled Otomobil Gezisi at the end, adding extra content that further differentiates this edition from its European counterpart.
